hey nuxt maintainer here.

feel free to ask any questions, let me know what isn't working - or fire away with your saltiest takes

danielroe··on Airspace: The Database You Have
hey there

I'm the author - happy to answer any questions you might have. and if you have suggested fixes or ideas I will make notes

danielroe··on NPMX – a fast, modern browser for the NPM registry
thank you for the feedback!

I will be thinking closely and I really prize all thoughtful feedback like this.

we're currently on a collective holiday: https://npmx.dev/recharging. but when we're back, you would be really welcome to join us and make it better - if you want!

it's open source at https://github.com/npmx-dev/npmx.dev

danielroe··on NPMX – a fast, modern browser for the NPM registry
we do have an algorithm to calculate total install size

it’s not _exactly_ the same as if you install with npm and check the size of your node_modules but it’s a pretty good proxy

having said that, there’s room to make it better

danielroe··on NPMX – a fast, modern browser for the NPM registry
npmx maintainer here! a few answers to questions i see:

we haven’t launched yet! we’re building openly but aiming for march 3. as is par for the course, hn gets the scoop.

i made the first commit two weeks ago, so it’s very new. but we’ve had 900+ PRs and 170+ contributors in the last fortnight… because this is something we care about.

having said that, i’m taking notes about what is and isn’t intuitive

npmjs remains the source of truth for the registry, which is why we get our data from there

but along the way we add a lot of features, like: - claiming new packages from the ui - batch admin operations for your orgs, teams and packages - total install size, vulnerabilities and deprecations for your transitive dependencies - generated docs for packages - linkable package contents - and more

it shouldn't need to do this. Nuxt has a @nuxtjs/color-mode module which ensures that the correct colour scheme is applied before the browser starts rendering the html.

if the site author is lurking anywhere - may I recommend https://color-mode.nuxtjs.org ?

danielroe··on GitHub Action to catch unsafe NPM package updates in lockfiles
... done!

would love to know what kinds of issues you encountered
danielroe··on NuxtLabs is joining Vercel
the best guarantee I have is that Nuxt is still independent - it's (some of) the core team who are employed by Vercel. you can see this is the case for svelte/sveltekit.

plus, as an open source project, no one _can_ shutter Nuxt. as long as we have a community, we are alive.

from another point of view, any open source project is ultimately accountable to the community, and I think that's especially true for nuxt.

at the end of the day, if sebastien isn't happy with my leadership he can replace me. (and that's _good_ - I wrote about it here: https://roe.dev/blog/governance-and-abuse)

and equally if the community aren't happy with the direction of nuxt, they can always fork it. (and that's _good_)

in fact, I think I'd say that accountability is always good.

danielroe··on NuxtLabs is joining Vercel
Nuxt maintainer here.

there's lots to say here, but from my point of view, Vercel's backing Nuxt largely _because_ of our open vision.

our open approach isn't an optional extra. it's a core value we all share on the team - and indeed, I think, is as close to a core value of the web as I know.

we've pioneered cross-framework adapters and the provider pattern in all we build and there is no way we are changing direction or vision.

nuxt remains an independent framework, like svelte. the fact that a number of us on the team are employed to work full time on OSS is _great_ news for OSS sustainability.

danielroe··on How I'm funded
Just discovered this!

Yes, please do steal it

danielroe··on Bun v1.0.0
You're very welcome It's definitely a team effort.

Feel free to DM me if I can be helpful.

danielroe··on Bun v1.0.0
I'm not aware of any issues as long as you are on the latest Nuxt and nuxi versions, so it might be easier to help if you open an issue with a reproduction on https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/issues.

danielroe··on The Stuxnet worm may be the most sophisticated software ever written
The sophists, as you say, were ancient Greek teachers.

But sophistry now means something rather different: using subtle, specious reasoning to deceive.

danielroe··on SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy successfully launches
I was once asked to list the number of days taken off work by the person I was referring (including sick days).

I assume it was a sneaky way of finding out whether the person suffered from any recurring health condition, and I refused to answer it.
