How did I get 111 npm downloads already?

Time:01-24

So 2 days ago I published my first npm package
A simple library to trim and join audio files.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/aviatojs\ The weird thing is I already got 111 downloads somehow. I havent shared this package with anyone
Neither have I documented anything. The readme is literally blank
.
could this be a mistake??
Edit: This might like look like I am trolling or something, but I assure I am genuinely curious about what's going on. Please dont downvote this question for no reason.

Npm’s download stats are native by design: they are simply a count of the number of HTTP 200 responses we served that were tarball files, i.e. packages. This means the number includes:

  • automated build servers
  • downloads by mirrors
  • robots that download every package for analysis

Full answere there: https://blog.npmjs.org/post/92574016600/numeric-precision-matters-how-npm-download-counts-work.html.

CodePudding user response:

This is something which occurs pretty often when you upload packages to npm.

One week ago I also pushed a simple project to npm and it got 1.5k downloads in a week.

I do not think this means that 111 people have downloaded your package, but better be safe than sorry.

You should fill up the readme just to be safe.
