npmx maintainer here! a few answers to questions i see:
we haven’t launched yet! we’re building openly but aiming for march 3. as is par for the course, hn gets the scoop.
i made the first commit two weeks ago, so it’s very new. but we’ve had 900+ PRs and 170+ contributors in the last fortnight… because this is something we care about.
having said that, i’m taking notes about what is and isn’t intuitive
npmjs remains the source of truth for the registry, which is why we get our data from there
but along the way we add a lot of features, like:
- claiming new packages from the ui
- batch admin operations for your orgs, teams and packages
- total install size, vulnerabilities and deprecations for your transitive dependencies
- generated docs for packages
- linkable package contents
- and more
- tcper 8mo agoDo you have your own dependency resolution algorithm? Can we have the most lightweight node_modules directory?
- danielroe 8mo agowe do have an algorithm to calculate total install size it’s not _exactly_ the same as if you install with npm and check the size of your node_modules but it’s a pretty good proxy having said that, there’s room to make it better
- Sammi 8mo agoThe visual hierarchy seems very flat and inaccessible to me. Everything is monochrome and looks too similar. I have a hard time differentiating between sections. There are many ways to get more visual hierarchy and I wish you make use of them.
- danielroe 8mo agothank you for the feedback! I will be thinking closely and I really prize all thoughtful feedback like this. we're currently on a collective holiday: https://npmx.dev/recharging https://npmx.dev/recharging. but when we're back, you would be really welcome to join us and make it better - if you want! it's open source at https://github.com/npmx-dev/npmx.dev https://github.com/npmx-dev/npmx.dev
- dzonga 8mo agothanks - through your repo - I have discovered a few dependencies I would like to adopt for my work
- KronisLV 8mo agoBest of luck, hope it goes well!
