I owe you some answers after the last article and, finally, here they are Lots of news, ideas, updates, solutions, and of course, People 🤍

@npmx.dev has reached 3000 stars ⭐️

One more reason to use @pnpm.io and @npmx.dev: trust policy downgrade becomes visible and preventable

I'm thrilled to share that my website was selected to be one of the winners of the CloudCannon Astro Challenge 🥳 Thank you very much @cloudcannon.bsky.social for the amazing template you are building. 🙌 This is the site: trueberryless-org.trueberryless.org I hope you like trains 🚂

Props to @t3.gg for contributing $5K to @e18e.dev! Looking forward to seeing all the creative ways @npmx.dev can collaborate with @e18e.dev to make the web faster, leaner, and simpler. We already have a bunch of things in the works 👀.

Having better, more intentional online and offline time is a heavy theme here at #AtmosphereConf and in ATProtocol apps. It’s fun to be at a developer conference where balance and burnout are top of mind.

All the npmx maintainers, this is such an incredible showing of the builder community.

Just found this gem of a proposed conf talk title in an old brainstorming doc: Don't Ship Where You Vite? Actually, Do: A Case for Vite Deployment Plugins I can't believe I didn't go with that.

This is my contribution to @atmosphereconf.org @npmx.dev @svelte.dev @sveltesociety.dev @mullvad.bsky.social @e18e.dev

💭 This "webring" of multiple interlinked simultaneous blog posts across companies and groups was inspired by the recent @npmx.dev alpha launch! (npmx.dev/blog/alpha-r...)

One click to download a package tarball. This is the way. Way more like this to come on @npmx.dev.

(So nervous 😬) I made a visible contribution to @npmx.dev, now you can download package tarballs! 🥹 Shoutout to @willow.sh for the kind review and @philippeserhal.com for the push to post this. So happy to see it live! 🎉

GitHub needs to give maintainers the tools to counter the frictionless AI flows they (and others) have created. A "fix with AI" flow that doesn't require a thorough review is worse than valueless. It's noise. It's pure churn. GitHub has the tools to detect this and educate users about OSS etiquette.

[developer submits a slop PR] me: "You’re in a desert, walking across the sand, you see a tortoise crawling toward you. You flip it onto its back, its belly exposed in the hot sun, legs struggling to turn over, but it can't without help. But you’re not helping."

New blog post!

Happy to share that I built a version history page into @npmx.dev Browse all published versions of any npm package — with a cleaner design, faster loading, and easier search than you'd expect. So happy to finally see it live ✨

Looking for a package for your needs? Search on @npmx.dev → select a few options → compare them across a dozen facets.

Happy that the multi-select feature is finally live on @npmx.dev along with lots of new features, bug fixes, and other updates. github.com/npmx-dev/npm...

I wonder if npmx should show a red badge for deprecated packages in social images 🤔

vue-data-ui v3.16.0 is out 🎉 All charts are now keyboard navigable, among other key a11y improvements. Release notes: github.com/graphieros/v...

npmx is back to double digit prs, so feel free to fix that 😇

Those bang queries are great, but even faster is adding npmx search to the address bar in Firefox (via right click once) with a keyword (e.g. "@n"). Firefox also supports type ahead and search suggestions from npmx.dev this way. Other browsers will likely offer similar mechanisms (not tested).

They're here!! Huge huge thanks to diginate.com for sponsoring these stickers, and to @z-space.ca for letting me ship them there!!

Very cool! I've found that npmx makes me more excited to publish things and explore other libraries. And this looks like it will add to that. Now, if you could just somehow solve all the upstream issues I've been having with npmjs lately that'd be great thanks.

I think grass touching is coming soon ^^

Give people a chance.

We're vite.dev/live! Come watch and chat.vite.dev with us 💜 And join the live panel after the movie at Vite Land's #stage

2 months of npmx: 220+ contributors, 23 maintainers. And as of today, 10 core team members 🤍 npmx is not just a browser for the npm registry. We're a team of peers working together. A community project. Our doors are open for anyone to contribute. Come and build with us.

See y'all tomorrow at chat.vite.dev! Prepare some popcorn 🍿

one of the highlights of the past two months of building npmx has been meeting amazing folks starting their open source paths and seeing them go from their first contribution to actively helping foster a healthy community. not just welcome them. as rado wrote: treat new contributors as peers

joy driven development

@paulie.codes: "Fixing a typo, updating docs, or tackling a tiny bug is enough to make you an open-source contributor. In my short time being actively involved, I have learned that the most important part of open source is the people, and everyone has something valuable to bring to the table." ❤️

Ok, the Chrome extension has been approved and is open source. It's a first iteration, and I hope to make it more insightful in the future. For now, a link will be displayed on the account page so you can go directly to AgentScan's profile page. 🤖🚫 chromewebstore.google.com/detail/npnlp...

radosvet.dev: My first real contribution to OSS was very different from what I expected, immediately felt in love with the process (...) - Questions were answered without ego. - Suggestions were discussed openly. - Accessibility was taken very seriously. - New contributors were treated like peers.

Please come and help James!

That's it. Let's leave the registry browsing to Open Source (the real one, mind you), so that npmjs can focus on support, infrastructure and maintenance. The path is clear.

@biilmann.blog: "We’re proud to be a sponsor of npmx, (...) Right now, it’s more important than ever that core infrastructure companies in our space come together across competitive boundaries to sponsor and support the open ecosystem that lifts all boats" 💙

One key takeaway from the recent Vue conference is the importance of human interactions, especially in open source. Contribute to open source, value human connections, have fun, and please leave automations at the door.

npmx v0.4 is live! 🎉 In the compare page, you can now switch from the table to the charts view, to visualise metrics through bar charts 📊 Check out all the new features at npmx.dev

i love the atmosphere of our npmx.social home

./ Locked in @npmx.dev !

Alexander does such great tutorials, and we're biased, but this may be in the TOP 5 of his best pieces so far. If you've missed it during npmx's alpha launch, today is a bright day to learn about all the features that the community has packed into npmx.dev. Time for a video! 🙌

Jono: "That's the open source mindset. You decide what to work on. You decide when. Nobody is keeping score, nobody is checking in, nobody is assigning you work. The only thing driving you is wanting to make the project better." People do things because they care. 🤍

@43081j.com: "A large part of the e18e initiative is about documenting and advising developers on how to make their packages more performant. (...) As an npm frontend, npmx is the perfect place to surface this advice and tooling to developers at the point of discovery." 🤝
