The better npm site got warnings on packages that should be avoided yesterday. Big thanks to the @e18e.dev community for making that easy!

Wow is there a list of packages and their alternatives?

Yeah! There's a nice package we use here: github.com/es-tooling/m.... It not only has the list of packages and their alternatives but sometimes even full markdown pages with tradeoffs.

Looking at the manifests It’s craaaazy how many packages are absolutely useless and exist for the sake of existing and generating downloads

That makes me think there already is (or soon might be?) an automated way to do this? a-la `npx use-better-packages` for package.json substitutions.

We have our own cli which is an alpha right now but will do the migrations for you. All the codemods are community maintained and paired up to the replacements

Not officially announced yet as we are likely to still do a bunch of breaking changes
