Hi there!
There are many ways to get information about altcoins. Before investing it is always a good idea to check out the website, see who the team is, read the whitepaper, and so on.
Another option would be to check how active the development team is. On the Cryptomiso website they show a great list of altcoins ordered by github commits.
The Top 5 by Github commits:
- Komodo
- Cardano
- Lisk
- 0x
- Waves
What surprised me is that 0x (decentralised exchange platform) is already up there since this coin has only been in development recently. Their first commit is in May 2017 and they already score really high now.
The Cardano (ADA) project is another one that I find really interesting. I get the idea that there is a really active development team behind it working on a solid coin.
See the whole list here https://www.cryptomiso.com/
