I owe you some answers after the last article and, finally, here they are

Lots of news, ideas, updates, solutions, and of course, People 🤍

It would have to be a webpack or turbopack-based Astro... Wastro? Tastro? Turboastro.

Thank you all for participating! 🤍

You can already see it on main.npmx.dev 🎉

Apparently that already means using your competitors' products!

Help me brainstorm a term that's missing: dogfooding but when you're misusing or working around your own product.

using the axios supply chain attack as an excuse to (1) get my team to use fetch instead, which feels obvious, and (2) show off @npmx.dev and @e18e.dev and their linting / vs code tooling. they make modernizing dependencies and security practices around them so much easier!

We talk a lot about those who make npmx so beloved but today it is the time to highlight another important part of our community and our values 🏳️‍⚧️

We see, we value, we respect, we hope, we love 🤍

Props to @t3.gg for contributing $5K to @e18e.dev!

Looking forward to seeing all the creative ways @npmx.dev can collaborate with @e18e.dev to make the web faster, leaner, and simpler.

We already have a bunch of things in the works 👀.

ViteConf 2026 when?

Just found this gem of a proposed conf talk title in an old brainstorming doc:

Don't Ship Where You Vite? Actually, Do: A Case for Vite Deployment Plugins

I can't believe I didn't go with that.

Come to think of it, Matt, you had an invisible hand in this, by personally vouching for @feedthej.im nearly two years ago!

Fun fact: the Next.js brand guidelines [1] state "Using Next as a pun for Next.js should be done sparingly and in good taste."

I am of course under no obligation to abide by these guidelines myself, but.. I gotta yell you, this has been a tough one to follow.

> We’ll continue working with the Next.js team, with our fellow OpenNext members (SST, Cloudflare, and independent OSS contributors), Google, the new Ecosystem Working Group, and with the broader ecosystem to tackle these remaining challenges.

Thank you, everyone.

> When a security vulnerability is patched in the framework, we no longer have to worry that the fix will break a reverse-engineered API

So happy to have been collaborating with you @jamesdaniels.net!

3 Years of OpenNext - OpenNext From an AWS-focused serverless adapter to a universal Next.js portability initiative backed by Cloudflare, Netlify, and the broader community. Today, an important milestone in the OpenNext story was a...

2/ post from the OpenNext initiative

> Over the last three years, OpenNext has played a crucial role in pushing Next.js toward true portability. Now, the introduction of the Adapters API signals a new era.

Thank you to @conico974.bsky.social @cloudflare.social and the whole OpenNext team.

Next.js Across Platforms: Adapters, OpenNext, and Our Commitments Next.js 16.2 introduces a stable Adapter API, a public adapter test suite, and a working group for more consistent deployment across platforms.

1/ post from the @nextjs.org team at @vercel.com

> Next.js is used by millions of developers, and many of them run on infrastructure that isn't Vercel. They deserve the same level of reliability and the same access to new features.

Thank you to @feedthej.im for relentlessly leading this push ❤️

💭 This "webring" of multiple interlinked simultaneous blog posts across companies and groups was inspired by the recent
@npmx.dev alpha launch! (npmx.dev/blog/alpha-r...)

After years of working in silos, in 2024 @netlify.com, @cloudflare.social, OpenNext, Google @firebase.com, and the @nextjs.org team at @vercel.com built bridges.

We started discussing how to truly solve for full portability of Next.js. And we kept at it.

Today marks a culmination of this work.

One click to download a package tarball. This is the way.

Way more like this to come on @npmx.dev.

A still from the TV series Parks and Recreation showing Andy Dwyer in the scene where he says "I don't know who Al Gore is and at this point I'm too afraid to ask." This dialog is implied but not shown.

I don't know why no one uses line breaks in .md and .mdx files, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

In my past life where I developed e-commerce software from the ground up I would have *loved* to have Hydrogen. It has everything you need built in, with great DX without magic. It's really just React Router 7 framework mode with a bunch of utilities tailored to a Shopify storefront.

Give it a try.

We think keytrace will be one of the keys to unlocking wide-scale atproto adoption, letting our social websites collaborate on shared cross-service identity bundles. If you're building on atproto, consider using keytrace. Its usefulness significantly compounds with each website that starts using it.

Happy to share that I built a version history page into @npmx.dev

Browse all published versions of any npm package — with a cleaner design, faster loading, and easier search than you'd expect.

So happy to finally see it live ✨

Big moves at @netlify.com with Netlify Start—build and deploy apps from a prompt in minutes. @vite.dev 8 lands with massive performance gains, and no more guessing—every @nodejs.org release is now LTS 🔥.
