Right now, when searching for "react tree" on NPM, aspen-tree-model and aspen-decorations don't show up until page 5. However, react-aspen is still nowhere to be found until page 28!

This must have been the reason why I couldn't find it weeks and weeks ago when I searched heavily for a tree view package and could not find one for the life of me - aspen doesn't show up for tens of pages! Clearly this is not a great situation to be in, especially since it seems like an incredibly useful and performant library.

I was only able to find out about aspen after begging for a tree view library in the Reactiflux Discord server. Perhaps making it easier to search up will allow others to discover it more easily as well?

Thanks for actively opening an issue around this. I'm aware of this problem but I'm not aware of a solution.

I'm just not very knowledgeable when it comes to SEO. I do have set up the obvious keywords one might imagine, including react and tree, and more. I even have the word React and trees in the package.json's description field. I even mention the word "tree" multiple times in the readme, I even cross-reference react-virtualized-tree in there. NPM's "page rank" is just playing games here.

I would truly appreciate some help with making this package more visible. I worked really hard on making this library, and it's sad if when people need it, they can't even find it, when it is out in the open.

I feel you. It is very sad knowing that I probably would've never found this library if not for that blessed soul in the Reactiflux server. I'm also at a loss trying to figure out how your search ranking could be this bad, especially because of the great quality of the library.
