Number of installs I used to also look at the download size, but it's no longer possible to see that directly on the module page. If I'm comparing two modules and both will solve my problem, but one is 5x the size, I'll opt for the smaller one. Or, if I know I can solve my problem with a small custom module or a large contrib module that does a bunch of things I don't need, I will sometimes opt to implement a small module that does exactly what I need. | I very rarely browser the Drupal module directory with no goal in mind. More typically, I will browse the recent releases in the Weekly Drop newsletter, and click through to read about modules I hadn't heard of before. I'm only interested in learning about modules if they're supported. | Sometimes I have an idea for a module, so I'm searching to see if something exists already. | Advanced | Backend Developer | mandclu | ||||||

This tells me it the project is well supported. | Advanced | Backend Developer | earthday47 | ||||||
