Show HN: Npflared serveless private NPM registry that you can host for free

Awesome project!

What benefits do you see for your approach over verdaccio or built in package repositories in the famous code hosting sites?

I am mostly because “How does this project compare to X” pages are basically indicators of quality and it’d be great if this project had one (I can basically imagine when I’d use this over run-forever verdaccio or locked-in gh packages)!

Was a bit lost by the serveless self-host part:

> Npflared is based on cloudflare services (worker, d1 and r2)

self as in you don't have to interact with the creator of npflared, not self as in run in your basement

It's actually not hard to run Worker apps locally.

What is "pirate" about this?

A lot of big companies self-host npm to avoid chain of supply attacks.

NPM already has issues with malicious packages in official repos, being able to run your own repos only makes it worse.
