Is there a place/tool that rank apps based on given statistics? For example, say I want to see which music player is more popular (amarok, clementine, gmusicbrowser...)
Gnome Software does not have that information. I know there are some statistics in the Debian Popularity Contest, but you can only search one app at the time. Additionally, you need to know the app you are looking for (which does not allow you to discover those that you do not know), and, you can search only using the name of the package, which might not coincide with the app name.
Any idea? Maybe using some type of script that gets a list of related packages (from where?) and look up for them in the aforementioned website? Perhaps using a web scrapper tool? This could be a nice feature to have in Gnome Software and in Ubuntu apps, and surely not too difficult to implement.
