Search algorithm needs a lot of work. Should sort results by the number of dependents http://i.imgur.com/BiOkb8o.png
Agreed; for trying to solve a problem rooted in valuing popularity over use, showing the "stars" for a result is counter productive.

Another suggestion: Allow searching from a language sub-page, with results limited to that language.

Direct link to the site: http://libraries.io
While the direct link is useful (and is prominently linked int the OP), the blog post does add useful background information to the what's and whys. I recommend viewing both.
Nice start. I would love to be able to upload my project's Gemfile and then have the option to subscribe to everything there.

Also, I would love to have an option to subscribe via RSS (I know that makes me seem old) instead of email.

I do really like how you're pulling release information and badge status from each project.

Thanks, both of those features are high on my todo list.
It seems like http://libraries.io/ is looking in npm Pypi and the like, but doesn't look in Github and Bitbucket.

I know a couple of open source project that have their own library ready for reuse, but http://libraries.io/ doesn't find them because they are not for reuse for npm, and the like. And if I know a couple, there are probably thousands. These libraries are not not re-use first, but project first, re-use second.
