coming soon 🎉 module replacements v3 has been a chunky piece of work inside @e18e.dev . it updates our data set to define individual replacements and their min engine versions.
this means we can show much richer messaging like this example in npmx
"Your repository has dependencies with security vulnerabilities"
at this point, its pretty much all known repos 😅
1M downloads, crazy! Was really a good idea to collab on this with @43081j.com for @e18e.dev
Update: reduced @rspack/dev-server deps from 193 → 8, install size from 14.9 MB → 4.1 MB.
npm supply chain attacks keep happening and keeping deps minimal makes me feel safer.
We're working on vite-plugin-pwa v2 version:
- 🦾 workbox fork: from 340+ to just 20 dependencies ( @e18e.dev ) 🤯
- ⚡ @vite.dev 8 + Environment API support (v1 works with Vite 8)
- 🔌 pwa plugin becomes modular, we don't need to hack integrations anymore (ala npmx.dev/package/serw... )
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 👀.
Good to see my blog post being enjoyed 😄
My 2 favorite features are replacement suggestions provided by @e18e.dev and warning about using dependencies that have Node.js requirement higher than yours
Mullvad, e18e, svelte, svelte sirens, and a wide variety of npmx stickers and badges
This is my contribution to @atmosphereconf.org
@npmx.dev @svelte.dev @sveltesociety.dev @mullvad.bsky.social @e18e.dev
Almost there with the new module replacements dataset.
Most replacements have engine info, descriptions, examples, etc.
We also now map multiple options so we can choose the best one for your target engine
the cli is going boom 👀
a thing i didn't mention on here as its a touchy subject, but i'd love to know one day - the great mystery of financial incentive to have this "atomic architecture"

new version of the @e18e.dev eslint plugin!
this adds type-enhancement to a few rules so they become smarter if you have TSESLint setup

we now have issue templates in module replacements :D
big thanks to @stephansama.info
new post on my personal blog.
i think these three areas often go unexplained, so hopefully this explains why some of these packages exist. these are fine to exist but the majority of developers shouldn't have to pay the cost for them.
Variety of sticker piles with the npmx logo, as well as a sparkly pile of e18e stickers
They're here!! Huge huge thanks to diginate.com for sponsoring these stickers, and to @z-space.ca for letting me ship them there!!
To quote @natemoo.re: "Love that @sentry.io has become the de-facto stress test against a gigantic codebase".
Sentry getting faster by about 2.75x is 🔥
Thank you! 🙏
hacking away at a new @npmx.dev feature of course 👀
✂️ Knip v6 is out
It's finally here, and your favorite slop fighter is already speedier than expected!
Can't wait to see y'all tidying up bigger codebases, faster 🚀
Blogpost + release notes: knip.dev/blog/knip-v6
Knip: knip.dev
A pile of blue badges with the Goosetopher mascot on
A pile of badges with the e18e logo
Then we have some Goosetopher badges, and @e18e.dev badges. I'm sorry I couldn't make more of these, I ran out of supplies! We should also have some e18e stickers!
Duplicate dependencies for each metaframework in a graph
Details of duplicate dependencies in a metaframework
The @e18e.dev CLI now powers the dependency stats in the framework tracker project. For example, you can now see deduplicated dependencies across the Node Modules folder in the starter setups for each metaframework.
with the increase in activity in the module-replacements repo lately, i'd love some help reviewing PRs and what not. it is just me right now doing all reviews, all issue triage, etc (not by choice)
if anyone wants to help, do let me know
This must’ve been the biggest (in size) PR I’ve ever reviewed 😬 thanks for bearing with my insistence in hooking into the module loader & intercepting in fs internals, hopefully this would make a class of monkey patching in the wild obsolete and we will have a much more robust public API for this!

Alexander does such great tutorials, and we're biased, but this may be in the TOP 5 of his best pieces so far. If you've missed it during npmx's alpha launch, today is a bright day to learn about all the features that the community has packed into npmx.dev. Time for a video! 🙌
I've just contributed to e18e - Ecosystem Performance. Consider supporting them too — every little helps! opencollective.com/e18e
Thank you @e18e.dev 🧡💛💚
As @bluwy.me said, we've seen you around contributing more than just monetarily, thanks for your work! 🙏❤️
@43081j.com: "A large part of the e18e initiative is about documenting and advising developers on how to make their packages more performant. (...) As an npm frontend, npmx is the perfect place to surface this advice and tooling to developers at the point of discovery." 🤝

we're just getting started 🔥
