I love how @npmx.dev surfaces potential @e18e.dev dependency improvements. From a package you are at replacement docs in only 2 tiny clicks!

a new tinylibs library arrives: tinyclip! 📋

we didn't want to pull in ~2MB to use the system clipboard, so @florian-lefebvre.dev and i paired on making this lighter alternative.

[RFC] Surface Inline Bundled Dependencies in Package Pages · Issue #1736 · npmx-dev/npmx.dev Summary Add first-class UI support for packages that physically inline their dependencies into their published tarball — making it possible for developers and consumers to understand what packages ...

Wrote a RFC for @npmx.dev

The idea: surface packages that are silently bundled inside other packages' tarballs — and show their "implied downloads".

Would love feedback 👇

what a great change by Eemeli here, going ESM-only and more than halving the size

Build and install time tests for Astro

(1/8) An exciting project over at @e18e.dev is our project: how can we measure performance across meta-frameworks? This means going deeper than just bundle size, but looking at all stats across development and runtime. Here is an example of one of our dev build tests. More details in the thread.
