Nutrient – The #1 PDF SDK Library, trusted by 10K+ developers
Other PDF SDKs promise a lot - then break. Laggy scrolling, poor mobile UX, tons of bugs, and lack of support cost you endless frustrations. Nutrient’s SDK handles billion-page workloads - so you don’t have to debug PDFs. Used by ~1 billion end users in more than 150 different countries.

  1. novus-packages

    One other recommendation, seeing as the package manifest repo on github seems to use json files, it could be useful to cooperate with the Bucket maintainers for scoop (lukesampson and Ash258 are the most active in that front, at least). They already have rather large repos, and some good tooling for tracking (and in some cases verifying them):

  3. semver

    Semantic Versioning Specification

    The current release is called 1.0.0, which normally is used for stable release (Semantic versioning). You may consider changing this to avoid confusions.

  4. novus

    A blazingly fast and efficient package manager for windows.

    That's a great suggestion. I have created an issue for this here and will definitely try to implement this as soon as I can in the next release.

  5. lessmsi

    A tool to view and extract the contents of an Windows Installer (.msi) file.

    Just an FYI, the lessmsi project may be worth a look for those trickier installers; its been fairly reliable in my experience! It can be used to extract the msi like you would a zip

  6. scoop-directory

    A searchable directory of buckets for the scoop package manager for Windows

  7. Scoop

    A command-line installer for Windows.

    At least if the manifest format were standardized, it could help reduce work for making new "repos". Since Scoop uses the The Unlicense, there shouldn't be issues collaborating code-wise.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
