a screenshot of a chart showing the install size difference of versions of the "yaml" package. the 3.0.0 package has 268KB while the previous versions have 660KB+

look at that lovely yaml@3.0.0 bar 🙏

what a great change by Eemeli here, going ESM-only and more than halving the size

packages shouldn't polyfill features they need.
users should polyfill features the package needs.

we do this in browsers, so why not in node?

from some of @willow.sh's npm data project:

largest tarball: 196MB
average tarball: 430KB
smallest tarball: 132B

this isn't even the whole registry yet 😅

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 💙

The new website's page for the 'is-even' package, with a warning flagging it as unnecessary.

The better npm site got warnings on packages that should be avoided yesterday.

Big thanks to the @e18e.dev community for making that easy!

The best npm directory has the sparkline. It also unfolds a larger chart, to explore download stats in depth.

Come join us to the hottest open source project !
You know where we are :)

❓ did you know about nuxt.care? it's an amazing project created by @flo-heuberger.bsky.social to help the nuxt modules ecosystem

there's an PR to add it to devtools, and I've already added the badge to lots of my modules

I'm asking because I'm building an alternative to npmjs.com, including the admin ui piece

I have a working mvp, although of course it's very 🚧

if this is something you'd like to contribute to, and you've experienced any of these pain points, let me know - always more fun to build together! 🙏

one of the stacks nobody has managed to modernise yet IMO: jest.

297 packages, 28MB.

interestingly much of the dep tree is owned by only a couple of individuals, too.

GitHub - e18e/action-dependency-diff: A GitHub action to report dependency changes and potential problems A GitHub action to report dependency changes and potential problems - e18e/action-dependency-diff

new release of the @e18e.dev github action for diffing dependency changes

it'll now more cleanly show changes in dependency size

Every time you update your dependencies and see that your deps tree gets slimmer, there is a high chance you're enjoying the relentless work of James or other folks from the @e18e.dev community that he inspired to get into action. Consider sponsoring him if you care about the JavaScript ecosystem.

Sponsor @43081j on GitHub Sponsors Maintainer of chai, parse5, unjs, vueuse, tinylibs, & more. One of the e18e.dev leads. Core contributor to lit and modernweb.

just a reminder that i have github sponsors if you'd like to sponsor the OSS work i do.

i maintain quite a few projects, and contribute to many more. nobody other than these sponsors pay for that. so these help a huge amount, however small 🙏

thanks so much to those who already did ❤️

I'm delighted to announce the first alpha of `@nuxt/a11y` 🎉

⚪ new core nuxt module
⚪ integrated in nuxt devtools

thanks to @timdamen.io for his incredible work on this ❤️

you can test it today – we'd love feedback, ideas, issues + PRs 🙏

This list is nothing short of amazing projects. Last year, Knip would've probably ended up even higher than this year. What other tooling is missing here?

tsdx by Jared Palmer upgraded to modern tooling, including bunchee, vitest, oxlint, oxfmt and bun.

fast-equals went from 280KB to 100KB in the last release! 🎉

we still use dequal in most places but this is handy for where you need to compare more complex values

thought i'd dig through the esm vs cjs dataset to see if there's any i can contribute a migration to

many of the top few hundred, though, are packages we shouldn't even need anymore 😅

Merged! Vitest 4.0.14 includes a new tabbed view and slider for visual regression reports 🎉

This feature required a lot of work under the hood, including the creation of the new test artifacts API. Really curious to see how it'll be used by us and the ecosystem 👀

The screenshot of code that shows how long it took to load each module next to the import declaration.

Exciting things coming to the Vitest UI reporter 👀
