Guests: Patak (Matias Capeletto, Vite core team) and Zeu Capua (zeu.dev, software engineer, Svelte ambassador).\n\nWhat is npmx?\nA fast, open-source browser for the npm registry. It consumes the npmjs REST API and adds a better UI and more useful data on top. Started by Daniel Roe (Nuxt lead) ~40 days before recording. Patak joined as co-steward after seeing a two-day prototype.\n\nFeatures beyond npmjs.com\nESM vs CJS detection per package\nBundle size and install size\nColor-coded dependency freshness (yellow = patch behind, red = major behind)\ne18e module replacement warnings when a lighter modern alternative exists\nPackage claiming via UI (available locally if you fork the repo)\nPlanned: publishing and package management flows\n\nSvelte is #1\nMost liked package on npmx at time of recording: Svelte (173), Nuxt (101), Vite (96).\n\nPicks\nZeu: Hypermedia Systems by Carson Gross. Free online at hypermedia.systems.\nBrittany: Starter Villain by John Scalzi. Comedy about inheriting a villain business.\nPatak: The community blog posts from the npmx launch. Read them if you need a reminder that open source can still be fun.\nJeppe: Cordless hot glue guns. 10 seconds to heat up, fixes everything.\n\nHot takes\nZeu: Stop putting \"blue\" or \"sky\" in AT Proto app names. The protocol needs to grow beyond Blue Sky.\nPatak: He's stopped coding in open source. Focusing on people, calls, community. Open source needs more non-coders.\n\nLinks\nnpmx Alpha Launch Blog Post\nnpmx.dev\nnpmx GitHub\nnpmx Discord\nnpmx Open Collective\nZeu Capua / @zeu.dev on Blue Sky\nEurosky\nOpen Source Pledge\nHypermedia Systems","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/a2spDmSxrcyX_1C736Fgx-G-l9_nFz2rxgwLVukFl-A/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzEyODk5LzE1OTc2/Nzg5NDYtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
