I'm asking because I'm building an alternative to npmjs.com, including the admin ui piece I have a working mvp, although of course it's very 🚧 if this is something you'd like to contribute to, and you've experienced any of these pain points, let me know - always more fun to build together! 🙏

🙋‍♂️ so ... for reasons: I would love to know people's frustrations with: - the current npmjs.com - admin user flows on npm web ui (and cli, locally) 🙏

Out of interest what are your views on jsr.io ? I saw them give a talk last year at FOSDEM and it seemed interesting.

jsr.ioJSR: the JavaScript RegistryJSR is the open-source package registry for modern JavaScript. JSR natively supports TypeScript, and works with all JS runtimes and package managers.

I had a great time publishing to JSR, unfortunately, the reach isn’t there. So an alternative “frontend” to NPM might be appreciated.

but does it need to have reach to be useful?

i actually take it back - yes it does need reach to be useful 😅. try to install your top 5 expected deps from work, and top 5 'fun' deps - they are not there xD but you can publish nicely, for sure!

Confused by this. You can install packages from jsr and npm currently, e.g. pnpm install jsr:@luca/cases or npx jsr add @luca/cases That is to say you can easily install from npm or jsr regardless of whether you're using deno or not. There are some limitations, but largely minor.

I searched for effect stuff on jsr and didn't find it. Does it pass thru and install any package? Front page docs don't seem to mention that? I am likely blind tho, i clicked thru v quick.
