Navigating JavaScript Userland

on YouTube ↗19m

" summary

Claim: the npm website stagnates with no public API while Yarn and other tools push rapid innovation. Evidence: 400 new npm packages land daily, GitHub signals (contributors, issues) and services like libraries.io reveal dependency patterns. Tools used: browser extensions npmhub and Octolinker, CLI utilities (try-module, ghwd, ntl) and registry feeds (package-stream, all-the-packages, nice-package) to analyze 15,000 Electron-dependent repos and ~1,700 Electron packages. Built artifacts: a userland site surfaces top repos and packages and the extensions are actively useful.
