July 29, 2025 by .NET Foundation Board

This month’s open source spotlight shines on NuGet Trends — a powerful project that tracks and visualizes NuGet package download data, helping the .NET community understand adoption and popularity over time.

What is NuGet Trends?

NuGet Trends tracks and visualizes historical download numbers for NuGet packages. It’s a valuable resource for package maintainers to monitor the growth of their libraries and for developers to see which packages are gaining popularity over time.

The service uses the complete NuGet.org catalog, including target framework information—enabling insights like framework adoption trends and dependency analysis.
