Add visualization of package metadata

[LordMike]

Hey,

Noticed this tool through Awesome dotnet core. I've previously made something named the same, so I was intrigued. My tool, private, was used to analyze Serilog's logging packages metadata on Nuget, because I noticed some discrepancies in which fields were filled out in the metadata (description f.ex.). Some fields were even incorrect, copy-pasted from other Serilog projects.

I documented my findings here: https://github.com/serilog/serilog/issues/1126

You could build on this and add tools to help identify misconfigured projects given a nuget feed. :)

Mike.

Hi @LordMike even though it's not the main goal of NugetVisualizer I think it could be an interesting additional feature to have. Since you already have some code that does it, it could be a good opportunity to leverage it and discuss how we can include it in the project I'm open to collaboration, so feel free to create a branch to add that feature and we'll review it together afterwards

I've put my code here: https://scm.mbwarez.dk/tools/nuget-package-overview

It's basically a small program that will perform some searches given a list of queries. Nuget has a somewhat documented search language that allows us to query for certain properties - I use "owner". It is unclear to me if "owner" is the package metadata "owner", or the Nuget account "owner".

Anyways. My goal is to highlight discrepancies between metadata of nuget packages, so that's what this tool does. :).
