Project Summary : Factoids
Large, active development team
Over the past twelve months, 18 developers contributed to SurfSense. This project has a relatively large team, in the top 10% of all project teams on Open Hub.
Short source control history
The source code repository for SurfSense has less than a year of continuous activity. This likely is a relatively new project.
A short history is not necessarily a bad thing (all projects have to start somewhere!) but often, newer projects are changing rapidly and are thus less stable. They are also often innovative and exciting!
As this project matures, a longer source control history in conjunction with recent activity might indicate that the project has enough merit to hold contributors' interest for a long time. It might indicate a mature and relatively bug-free code base, and can be a sign of an organized, dedicated development team.
Note: The source code for SurfSense might actually be older than the source control history can reveal. Many new projects begin by incorporating a large amount of source code from existing, older projects. You might be able to tell whether this is the case by looking for a rapid rise in the amount of code early in the project's history.
Very few source code comments
SurfSense is written mostly in TypeScript.
Across all TypeScript projects on Open Hub, 18% of all source code lines are comments.
For SurfSense, this figure is 3%.This lack of comments puts SurfSense among the lowest 10% of all TypeScript projects on Open Hub.
A high number of comments might indicate that the code is well-documented and organized, and could be a sign of a helpful and disciplined development team.
