chat.npmx.dev doors are open again, see you there!

Nothing sums up my life better than the three shops in my town that know me: the chippy, bakery, and pharmacy 😌

AI claims another victim... they put it as maintenance mode in December last year and now have decided to close it all together...

new version of @e18e.dev ESLint plugin! it now flags inline RegExp, temporary arrays used for equality checks, and adds type-enhancement to some existing rules 🚀 if you have any feedback, let me know. any false positives, edge cases, etc!

59 hours left! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dot...

one more 👀

npm... adding things!?!!!!!! runkit link gone, replaced by actually useful stuff! the @npmx.dev effect has already begun 😱

Tests. Vitest's browser mode is stable since Vitest 4.0. Now you can be sure that your tests pass in an *actual* browser environment. vitest.dev/guide/browser/

👀

very excited for our first guest of the e18e & friends show to be @joshuakgoldberg.com! He's done so many great things for open source already, so we're super happy to have him join us to chat about what he's been up to lately! tune in tomorrow 🎉

:D

🐮🤞

what even...

are you ever filling out the repository object in your package.json, entering the `type: git` and wondering, huh... what are other people putting in this field? today I found at least one person has put `npm`

In my talk, "Build Robust Components" I share stories, techniques, and real world considerations that motivate a usable experience before and after JS hydration. youtu.be/Sf0DlcPPNTE?...

how many eslint rules do people have in their configs... I wonder if I am enabling too many xD

Did you know there are at least 139 packages on npm that start with a hyphen/dash? Curiously some of them look like CLI flags! --frozen-lockfile --fix-lockfile --legacy-peer-deps --ignore-scripts --ignore-workspace-root-check You've also got the package with a single dash for a name `-`

Opening Bluesky be like @npmx.dev

one of the most exciting projects we have in @e18e.dev right now is to measure/track perf of all popular meta-frameworks if you're interested in this or maintain a framework, reach out! its a fun, difficult project 😀 & we're very lucky to have @alexanderkaran.bsky.social leading it (no pressure 😂)

you know what to do --> npmx.dev/package/svelte

This has been a long time coming. Super proud of the team - we completely rewrote Deno Deploy in the last year. It's better in every single way than the original. Not to toot our own horn, but I think it's the best place to deploy your Deno/Node.js apps (and frameworks!) Try it at deno.com/deploy!

just another day on the registry; code crashing because a field on the packument has random unicode null characters in it

👀

today we distributed some of our sponsors fund to a few people for their great work: - @hyeseong.kim - @webpro.nl - @devminer.xyz - @superchupu.dev - @lukeed.bsky.social thanks so much to you all for being part of the community and helping out so many of us. your work is incredibly valuable 💙

we have the first guest to our new e18e & friends monthly show! any idea who it is? 😄

what I love most about open source is the community 😊 ... and I think that's what makes nuxt and vite so special to everyone involved ❤️ I'm glad @patak.dev is willing to join me as a steward of npmx 🙏

@fosdem.org time!!

It took a while, lots of debugging and fixes in rolldown, vite-plugin-svelte and sveltekit, but today it happened. For the first time, sveltekit tests in vite-ecosystem-ci for vite-8 beta passed. github.com/vitejs/vite-... Thanks to everyone who helped getting there especially @sapphi.red

Exciting news—Clack v1.0 is here! 🎉 🫳 Dropped CJS distribution (the only breaking change) 🆕 Added autocomplete, taskLog, and more 🌏 Localization support 🐞 Dozens of bug fixes + performance improvements 🤗 Ecosystem alignment This release marks stable support for our current APIs

new release of the @e18e.dev eslint plugin! this plugin provides a bunch of modernisation and performance rules, categorised by purpose. give it a try and let us know how it goes 💙

here's a brief look ahead at what we have planned in the e18e community for 2026 🎉 great collaborations, and many useful developer tools are in the works. also a huge thanks to all who contributed so far - many of the libraries, tools, and frameworks we use today are faster because of you 💙

Vite 7

exciting news! we're starting a new monthly live streamed show: e18e & friends. hosted by the great @thealexlichter.com! monthly we will catch up with friends from the community, with a focus on performance and what cool things they've been building lately first guest TBA soon, streaming 10 Feb 🎉

Big news! Google have sponsored the @e18e.dev community $10k via their Chrome performance fund 🎉 I'm very thankful we've managed to create a space and a community people appreciate. Sponsorships like this will benefit the ecosystem, not just this community

I'll be in Brussels🇧🇪 next month speaking at @fosdem.org on 1st Feb about CRDTs in production at Plane!! Still feels surreal getting to share the stage with such cracked devs Never did I think OSS would be this rewarding! I wrote about it here palanikannan.com/blogs/speaking-at-fosdem-2026

Like the rest of the internet, Sentry runs on Open Source. Like the rest of the @opensourcepledge.com companies, we also believe in paying it back. In 2025, we gave out $750k to the OSS projects we rely on; here’s a sampling of some of them, and why they are so crucial 🧵

We released a Svelte Skill! It will teach your agent to use the svelte CLI to invoke the same tools as the MCP! We also released a subagent so that docs and iterations with the autofixer don't take up precious context! And you can get all of that easily because the repo is now a Marketplace! 🧡

it's official, this year is the year of the Linux desktop

#TeamPaula shirts are now available to help offset the costs of future retests/surgeries for Paula. cottonbureau.com/p/SB3E9T/shi... You can also give/share the link here gofund.me/50744c9bf please. Proceeds go directly to the medical fund. Thanks for your support and Merry Christmas.

Glossy vs matte stickers?? Attached is a photo of the same sticker in gloss and matte. Please reply with your opinion 🙏

i have a growing @e18e.dev roadmap of very useful tools we could all benefit from to make it happen, we need two things: sponsors, and leads/champions 👀 if you're interested in either, come chat to me and i'd be happy to show you through the roadmap we have!
