💅 e18e community starter pack go.bsky.app/JoSyk5A

Some days you find time to contribute to @npmx.dev and get to delete 500 lines. Those are good days. (Didn't have to work hard to find them, thanks to Knip✂️ from @webpro.nl )

✂️ slides and transcript for my talk "Dead Code Shouldn't Exist" are now available on my blog: tkdodo.eu/blog/dead-co...

✂️ Knip v6.42.0 is out → 🆕 Support for line comments: // @​lintignore → 🆕 Plugins: filesystem-routing, tsrs, @​solidjs/vite-plugin → Plugins improved: Angular, Jest, Next, Nx Massive props to all involved! 🫶 Knip: knip.dev Changelogs: github.com/webpro-nl/kn...

vue-data-ui v3.27.1 is now -1.5 MB lighter

📈 In the last month, @npmx.dev had 5M visitors, 10M page views, and handled half a billion requests. ~50x increase since April.

A new text encodings library, iconv-nano, was posted in the @e18e.dev discord. A day later, the author (Jeremy) is collaborating with @hyeseong.kim on making it ~80% smaller! 🤯 Always impressed by how e18e has managed to join up people with knowledge in such niche subjects 😄

✂️ Knip v6.40.0 is out Another fine community release by 11 contributors! 🧡 Lots of tuning on plugins like vite, playwright, rsbuild. New plugins: jasmine, osls. Changelogs: github.com/webpro-nl/kn... Knip: knip.dev

ESLint jumped in install size by 2MB recently from a basic dependency update. Here's a short thread of the observations 🧵

Devframe now has an Ecosystem page! A couple of weeks after the launch, we have quite a few tools now built on top of Devframe, including DevTools for Angular by @santoshyadav.dev devfra.me/ecosystem

I would love to do a deep dive into what's in nuxt/cli v4, but sleep calls and for now I just want to leave this one here 🔥

`@nuxt/test-utils` v4.3.3 is out! 🎉 … and it drops one or two dependencies 🔥 👉 full details in the release notes: github.com/nuxt/test-ut... 🙏 and as usual thank you to @yamachi4416.bsky.social for amazing work ❤️

The npm package went from 1.56 MB to 609 kB (−61%). v11 ships ES modules only, so the CommonJS, UMD and duplicate builds, and most source maps, are gone. The runtime you ship is the same ~40 kB of ESM.

@e18e.dev mr's repo finally made it to 1k stars! 🥳

If you maintain a @nodejs.org application that hasn't been updated for a couple of years, consider looking into replacing some userland dependencies with built-ins that are now available flaviocopes.com/node-builtins/

Thanks to the constant reminders by our @e18e.dev friends, we just halved Babel's install size :) (note: due to how npmx.dev computes package size, if you look at it now it looks like the improvement was already in 8.0.0)

Ecosystem performance meets Astro. @florian-lefebvre.dev is here to explain how the @e18e.dev project is making your favorite framework smaller and faster ⚡️

Not all heroes wear capes... at least the @e18e.dev team doesn't. They’re on a mission to make the JS ecosystem lighter and faster. So we’re donating to them as part of our OSS donation program. They've already reduced node_modules size and made Node.js tooling much faster, and we appreciate it!

Another tease of the @e18e.dev framework tracker is our improvement-over-time page for each framework. We record each major and minor version for every test. Picking on @solidjs.com here, but look at some of the improvements in version two for SolidStart. SSR First Paint and Build Times:

Updates in the recent Node Modules Inspector: - Better module type detection (now it recognizes binary packages) - Colorizing the charts by module type, published age, or duplicated versions to find them easily

Now the e18e panel 🟠🟡🟢 is happening at @zurichjs.com conf hosted by @thealexlichter.com with @tolin.ski @43081j.com @debbie.codes & @santoshyadav.dev

TSESLint size is back to normal after they updated pnpm! 🎉

the e18e GitHub action noticing that ESLint introduced a duplicate dependency recently 👀 always keep an eye on your deep dependency changes! this one is because a ESLint bumped a dep whose own deps include duplicates (amusingly all of those are maintained by the same person, probably an accident!)

Vitest 5 is here! 🎉 - Big performance improvements (vm pools up to 53% faster, ~18% boost across the board including Browser Mode) - New builtin Trace View in Browser Mode - Nested projects support - New benchmarking API - New `vi.when` API - Better defaults - And a lot of bug fixes!

@bomb.sh/tty is the low-level layout engine and input parser that powers our forthcoming tui libraries. think we can get this even smaller, but our baseline is now v0.9.0 at 113 kB (0 deps) compared to v0.6.0 at 830 kB (0 deps) @opentui/core at 21 MB (9 deps) ink at 7.8 MB (36 deps)

The @e18e.dev framework tracker is nearing an official release. We have worked hard to include a wide array of stats on meta-framework performance, including data from HTTP Archive. See below for a sneak peek at the percentage of sites in each framework that meet the benchmark. 🧵

ESLint Config Inspector v3.4.0 now supports visualizing the ESLint stats, showing which rules or files are slowing you down! github.com/eslint/confi...

Next week, @thealexlichter.com is hosting an @e18e.dev panel at Zurich JS! 🎉 If you're around, come say hi 🙏

wow, @e18e.dev's module-replacements has 1 million downloads 🤘🏻

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the @npmx.dev dependencies list is simply 🧑‍🍳's 💋 Example: npmx.dev/package/knip

❌🛢️ unbarrelify v1.1.4 is out Fully automated cleanup: unbarrelify rewrites consumers to import directly from source, then deletes the barrel files. Why? Read more at github.com/webpro-nl/un... Trust me, you don't want to do this by hand and your agent will screw up and bill you nonetheless. 👇

The @vitest/istanbuljs fork is now ready and will ship in the next version of Vitest. Compared to the original istanbuljs packages it's ESM-only, ships its own typings, drops unnecessary runtime deps, and moves Node 8→22, Babel 7→8 (lib-instrument), React→Preact (html-spa reporter), and more!

It’s easy to complain about what could be better in the JS ecosystem. James takes a different approach: he sees something that could be improved and gets to work. Through @e18e.dev & many other projects, he’s helping make our shared OSS infrastructure better. So happy to have him at ZurichJS Conf.

Daniel (@danielroe.dev) and Matias (@patak.cat) of npmx (npmx.dev) join host Richard (@richlitt.bsky.social) explores community, governance, inclusion, burnout, and sustainability beyond nonstop productivity. Listen at 🎙️ podcast.sustainoss.org/293

Alongside the WebContainer query that gives you the full info, the web version of Node Modules Inspector also gets a Registery Qurey more that gives you the result almost **Instantly** node-modules.dev

i've written up some thoughts about AI in the open source world, and more importantly, why humanity is important. its a bit wordy and doomy but this is an important topic right now. there is still a lot of good in the OSS world at least ❤️

Dear gods that's satisfying. @npmx.dev makes wins like this feel like little celebrations.

The blog post is missing this key screenshot on how install size in `@changesets/cli@3.0.0` reduced by 88% 😮 packagephobia.com/result?p=%40...

Changesets v3 is here! 🦋 After months of chipping away at issues alongside @bluwy.me, @haglund.dev, and many other contributors, we’re excited to finally share it. changesets.dev/blog/announc...

had another good chat about @e18e.dev and what the community has been up to. check it out! 🎉 big thanks to @josh.bressers.name for having me along and for the good conversation 🙏

And we are live now with @honk.foo youtube.com/live/L8Edgas...

Using the @e18e.dev MCP server has been pretty fun. "Check the dependencies for any redundant ones", and it does a pretty good job! We can improve it but it's a great start 🎉 Big thanks to @paolo.ricciuti.me being the resident ai guy 😄

come join us tomorrow on the live stream where we'll be chatting to Oliver about porffor! 🎉

What other way to start the day but joy and cringing at watching myself speak. @patak.cat and my talk is up now!! 🧵 www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqdJ...

new @e18e.dev blog post about when to publish source maps to npm 📦 source maps are often the reason behind bloated install sizes, but sometimes necessary. here we try to explain some of the balance, do/don't

While some people laughed about the number of dependencies in the JS world, others worked to improve the ecosystem (like @e18e.dev). Now many of my open source projects have around 20 packages in node_modules, including transitive dependencies.

new @e18e.dev effort just kicked off: dieting rust crates 🦀 huge thanks to @jacobasper.com for starting this. we're using the lean crate cargo diet to trim packaged crate sizes across the ecosystem tracking issue: github.com/e18e/ecosystem-issues/issues/280

hey it only took me 4 years, but ultramark@0.1.0 is out! refocused as a streaming renderer for well-structured markdown subset, aggressively tiny at 1.5KB, never displays any raw syntax while streaming github.com/natemoo-re/u...

✂️ Knip strict mode is about to detect which type-only packages are production dependencies. If their types appear in published declarations, consumers need them too. Try it out, welcoming feedback: PR: github.com/webpro-nl/kn... Docs: issue-1909-exact-type-depend.knip.pages.dev/guides/handl...

CodeRabbit's ESLint reviews now run the e18e ESLint plugin v0.5.1by default. It was great to collaborate with @43081j.com to make this possible 😍

Summer break is over: The @e18e.dev & friends show is coming back next week 🎉 And we got nobody else than the one and only @honk.foo talking about Porforr and how a future for natively compiled JavaScript could look like! Swing by at 7pm CEST / 1pm EDT on August 4th 👌 youtube.com/live/L8Edgas...
