TL;DR: The FAF ecosystem just crossed 50,000 downloads. npm, PyPI, crates.io — three registries, three languages, one format. No ads. No growth hacks. Just good software finding its people.

From 30k to 50k
The last milestone post was February 27. Five weeks later:
- faf-cli v6.0 — Ground-up Bun-native rewrite. 94% smaller. 33 Mk4 slots.
- gemini-faf-mcp — Crossed 4,800 on PyPI. Google's AI needs FAF too.
- grok-faf-mcp — 161 downloads in 7 days. xAI interest accelerating.
- faf-wasm-sdk v2.0 — Mk4 Championship Engine. Triangle of Trust.
- Mk4 Parity — Same engine, same scores across Rust, TypeScript, and Python.
- 4 awesome-lists — Accepted into awesome-ai-devtools, awesome-mcp-servers, and more.
The Trajectory
10k — First milestone. Mostly faf-cli.
20k — MCP servers hit. Multi-package ecosystem.
30k — Three registries. PyPI and crates.io join.
50k — Three languages. One format. One count.
One Count
We used to report npm only. Not anymore.
FAF ships in TypeScript, Python, and Rust. It runs on npm, PyPI, and crates.io. The downloads are real no matter which registry they come from.
50k+. One count. All platforms. Same number everywhere.
What's Next
IANA registered. IETF in progress. Chrome Extension live. Academic paper published. Four awesome-lists. MCP servers for Claude, Gemini, and Grok.
The format keeps spreading because the format keeps working.
