Remote vs Salesforce

Remote (Remote helps with international payroll, benefits, taxes, stock options, and compliance for businesses big and small!) and Salesforce (Noteworthy Open Source projects made available by Salesforce. Available under Open Source or Creative Commons licensing. No warranty or support implied) both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

Salesforce (rank #82) holds a modest lead over Remote (rank #278) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (57 vs 46). The gap of 11 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On code quality (the state of repositories, tests, releases and polish), Salesforce is ahead of Remote. On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Remote is ahead of Salesforce. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Salesforce is clearly ahead of Remote. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Salesforce is ahead of Remote. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Salesforce is ahead of Remote.

Remote carries 811 GitHub stars across 51 public repos, with 17 repositories active in the last 90 days and 21 external contributors on record. Salesforce shows 68,892 stars across 417 public repos, 75 active in the last 90 days and 6 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but Salesforce's footprint is roughly 84.9x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.

Remote is the stronger read for anyone weighting education. Salesforce looks better where community is the deciding factor. The table below breaks the scores down pillar by pillar; the linked profiles cover the underlying repos, docs and community signals in full.
