Open edX (rank #339) holds a modest lead over Narmi (rank #727) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (43 vs 30). The gap of 13 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Narmi is ahead of Open edX. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Open edX is clearly ahead of Narmi. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Open edX is ahead of Narmi. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Open edX is clearly ahead of Narmi.

Narmi carries 69 GitHub stars across 10 public repos, with 3 repositories active in the last 90 days and 7 external contributors on record. Open edX shows 10,600 stars across 186 public repos, 99 active in the last 90 days and 96 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but Open edX's footprint is roughly 153.6x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.
