Congrats on the release I'm always happy to see competitors to the likes of NPM which whilst being a great tool have a bit too much of a monopoly I've had a good run using nexus as a free self hosted repository ( both in the professional and personal space ) - just wndering what are the benefits in me investing time to use verdacio?

Personally, I am a big believer in doing one thing really well rather than a lot of things kinda ok. I can't speak to how easy it is to use nexus for managing npm packages, but I can say that it is really straightforward with verdaccio. I think the best argument for using it is simply setting it up and trying it out. There's a bunch of ways to install it depending on your infrastructure and you should be up and running in < 15 minutes. Personally I like using docker: https://verdaccio.org/blog/2019/05/13/the-new-docker-image-verdaccio-4 https://verdaccio.org/blog/2019/05/13/the-new-docker-image-v... Let me know what you think!
