zsh-abbr The zsh manager for auto-expanding abbreviations

tailwindcss-fluid-font-size Fluid font sizes utilities plugin for Tailwind 3.

@jsr.io nows shows download counts! Their (non-)handling of the community request for this feature is one of the reasons I'm uninterested in JSR, but it's nice to see. And exciting to learn tailwind-fluid-font-size (tailwindcss-fluid-font-size.olets.dev) has been downloaded from JSR ~6000 times
