I’ve always been on the fringes of open source but after being thrust into the @npmx.dev community exactly one week ago, I can firmly conclude that this is the stuff that has always powered The Internet and it must continue at all costs.

It's Atmosyear not app...mos... hang on

Surely you've heard of @npmx.dev right? @reinhold.is's pick next week on Svelte Radio 👀

we're living through a paradigm shift in how we build together. we have new, powerful tools on our side that, when guided by human values, can help us rebuild our online world faster than ever. the key is how we scale welcoming, inclusive, and healthy communities to match our new collective powers

communities grow fueled by the value they create for themselves. npmx is useful to us, and that is enough to bind us together and take care of our website long term. we already won.

Imagine if social media let you build social features on top of it instead of locking you out. That's exactly what we're doing with npmx

felt the need. i feel vastly under qualified to write something like this, but i also feel its especially important that we think about the way we use language

> Once people can log in via the atmosphere, you can start to layer on social features that make sense for your site. The wizards behind the very rapidly-progressing next-generation JS package registry npmx just added a like feature to every package — show your favorite JS library some love ❤️

Google endorses Independent Open Source Adventurer as a valid profession. In case someone else wants to join us to explore together the shared commons lands.

ENHANCE :O @npmx.dev

Look ma, I'm quoted in an atmospheric blog post! And yes, this. We can just add social features to our websites.

The npmx.dev file browser is pretty slick 👍🏼

Small tip for speedrunners: if you want to reach @npmx.dev repo real quick just type repo.npmx.dev And since you are there now, make sure to star it

it all depends now on how fast we can scale trust and safety across our open communities

we can just do the right things

It has been more than a year since I deactivated my X account. I had 12K followers there, a bit less than the good folks I found posting into the atmosphere. 5K posts are a lot. It shows how many conversations I enjoyed here. This is a good place to connect with others. A good place for adventures.

You can ♥️ your favorite JavaScript packages in the Atmosphere now. You *do* have a favorite JavaScript package right?

WAIT! @npmx.dev has built-in *gorgeous* API documentation from types? 🤯 npmx.dev/package-docs...

State of JS 2025 is out. It’s interesting how negative sentiment @nextjs.org generates year by year. Undeniable winner is @vite.dev, and its growing ecosystem... of course. 😍 2025.stateofjs.com

Thought I'd talk a bit about npmx likes and how they work. - They are on atproto - The source of truth is from constellation 🌌. We get the total distinct did count, and if you have liked it - Likes are cached server side for 5 mins. - Uses the package url as the key to the record.

@npmx.dev LEVEL UP! thanks for joining forces with us @bnb.im <3

New title: Independent Open Source Adventurer ✌️

this is my jam 😍 so hooked on @npmx.dev

let's have some good old open source adventures y'all :)

its great seeing npmx as an output for a lot of the data and tools we have inside e18e visibility of these things goes a long way to helping the wider community improve their own projects very nice having a place to output this npmx 🤝 e18e💙

trying something here 😅 wanna sponsor a cool open source project built on atproto? sponsor blento.app with >4 usd/month or >40 usd one time (more is fine too 😁) and I'll send you 5 cool, homemade aluminum cards with your name and qr code. github.com/sponsors/flo...

they made me drop quite a few tears of happiness during the call each of them is a role model of an oss dev. if you ever see them, irl or online, please thank them for pouring so much love into our shared commons. they deserve the world

first vite team meeting in months 🥹 these are my people, some of the best souls I know In this call @arnaud-barre.bsky.social @bluwy.me @dominikg.dev @hiogawa.bsky.social @patak.dev @sapphi.red @erus.dev ⚡ thanks for always being there for me forever @vite.dev core team 💜

I just sponsored @patak.dev for his work on npmx (and all the other stuff). I love this project and think it deserves backing. Hoping some day I find time to contribute. Sponsor your open source maintainers!! github.com/sponsors/pat...

🚀 Lazy Barrel Optimization in Rolldown Barrel files, files that re-export from other modules, are common in modern JavaScript projects but a nightmare for your build time. Rolldown now has Lazy Barrel Optimization to fix this. Here's how it works 🧵

17 likes!? ❤️ Is @svelte.dev the most liked package on npmx right now?

someone bubbled up this old thread yesterday in my notifications, and i'm resharing it once again now because this photo took me like 2 hours and it can be that it ends up with only 14 likes. stop liking packages in npmx, and get back to liking cats in bsky people

we are not even in alpha, what are you doing people? Stop liking your favorite packages! We all love them, but give us a bit of time to at least check if the lexicons are solid with others in the atproto community!

So uh, we wanted to test some things, so we found the longest NPM package name. This is it. Th...anks, random person 14 years ago. @npmx.dev salutes you.

was it you?

Today I made a quick i18n MR on @npmx.dev during a work break, and it took less than two hours to be merged 🤩 This project feels like fresh air, just a bunch of talented folks on a Discord building a cool website together 💙

crazy how everytime i go on @npmx.dev the "built n minutes ago" is always n ≤ 11, like i've never seen it higher than that. you guys are crazy

contributing to the e18e initiative has been a great experience so far, i'm really grateful for the sponsorship and for the beautiful community of developers e18e has made 💙
