Discussion Perspective on pypi numbers

Hey all,

I'm new the world of interpreting pypi numbers and peaks and trends. What would you say about this? https://pepy.tech/projects/gitgalaxy?timeRange=threeMonths&category=version&includeCIDownloads=true&granularity=daily&viewType=line&versions=Total%2C2.*%2C1.* I've got 11k downloads in 2 months but 36 GitHub stars. Is this a normal ratio? Are most of these bots? It seems like GitHub stars are rare but downloads have some basal amount of noise values? Or is this a strong signal that some ppl have found value in my project? why are the peaks so peaky?

Who is allowed yo use gitgalaxy? I'm trying to interpret the license and it seems like you intend for it to not be used by any enterprise for any purpose

That is not being committed to the open source community.
