I'm looking for an ESP8266 library. The exact one doesn't matter. Most library managers track the number of downloads per period of time and even user reviews. The Arduino library manager doesn't seem to do that. How can I determine which of the numerous libraries are well liked and supported?
Thanks
Weird.
Supported: check the GitHub repository. How recently and how frequently have updates been made (eg. Pull requests, merges etc)? Are issues being raised and not responded to?
Well liked: libraries are not ballroom dancing contestants. When you need (or think you need) a library, ask for advice here on the forum, explaining what you need to achieve. You'll get advice tailored to your specific needs/hardware etc. The solution may be so simple that no library is needed. Also check if the library is available from the library manager in the IDE. It's a curated list of all those available, although that doesn't mean they are all perfect, or that some excellent libraries are not included.
