Stars measure visibility, not whether either tool fits your constraints. ### Are eval-view and humanbound open source? Yes - both are open-source projects on GitHub (eval-view: Apache-2.0, humanbound: Other). ### Where can I find alternatives to eval-view or humanbound? GraphCanon lists graph-backed alternatives at [eval-view alternatives](/tools/hidai25-eval-view/alternatives) and [humanbound alternatives](/tools/humanbound-humanbound/alternatives) ([eval-view markdown twin](/tools/hidai25-eval-view/alternatives.md), [humanbound markdown twin](/tools/humanbound-humanbound/alternatives.md)), ranked by typed relationship edges rather than popularity votes. ### Is there a machine-readable version of this comparison? Yes. The markdown twin at [this comparison](/compare/hidai25-eval-view-vs-humanbound-humanbound.md) mirrors this page for agents and LLM crawlers, with the same stats table and FAQ answers. ### Which is better maintained, eval-view or humanbound? eval-view: Very active. humanbound: Very active. Compare maintenance labels, days since push, and release cadence in the trust section below - stars alone do not measure maintenance. ### Where are the full trust reports for eval-view and humanbound? GraphCanon publishes per-repo trust reports with dated maintenance, provenance, and scan summaries: [eval-view trust report](/tools/hidai25-eval-view/trust); [humanbound trust report](/tools/humanbound-humanbound/trust). --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=hidai25-eval-view`](/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=hidai25-eval-view) - LLM index: [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) - Full corpus: [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt) _GraphCanon - The knowledge graph for AI development. https://www.graphcanon.com/_
