npmx shows what npmjs won't

Jeppe hosts with Brittany. Guests: Patak (Matias Capeletto, Vite core team) and Zeu Capua ( zeu.dev , software engineer, Svelte ambassador). What is npmx? A fast, open-source browser for the npm registry. It consumes the npmjs REST API and adds a better UI and more useful data on top. Started by Daniel Roe (Nuxt lead) ~40 days before recording. Patak joined as co-steward after seeing a two-day prototype. Features beyond npmjs.com ESM vs CJS detection per package Bundle size and install size Color-coded dependency freshness (yellow = patch behind, red = major behind) e18e module replacement warnings when a lighter modern alternative exists Package claiming via UI (available locally if you fork the repo) Planned: publishing and package management flows Svelte is Most liked package on npmx at time of recording: Svelte (173), Nuxt (101), Vite (96). Picks Zeu : Hypermedia Systems by Carson Gross. Free online at hypermedia.systems. Brittany : Starter Villain by John Scalzi. Comedy about inheriting a villain business. Patak : The community blog posts from the npmx launch. Read them if you need a reminder that open source can still be fun. Jeppe : Cordless hot glue guns. 10 seconds to heat up, fixes everything. Hot takes Zeu : Stop putting "blue" or "sky" in AT Proto app names. The protocol needs to grow beyond Blue Sky. Patak : He's stopped coding in open source. Focusing on people, calls, community. Open source needs more non-coders.
