Nub's package manager is now 5.5x faster than Bun on our warm install benchmark!

Introducing ✨ Standard JSON Schema ✨ It's a sister spec to Standard Schema that provides a common interface for any entity that can be converted to JSON Schema
sounds fake but I'm starting a company with my nemesis David E. ArkType and our first hire is @andarist.bsky.social and our first product is now in beta :)
Introducing Zod 4.1 and its flagship feature: codecs. z.codec() is a new API for defining *bi-directional transformations* in Zod
in the absence of an existing convention, I'm adding these three fields to Zod's package.json. making this stuff auto-discoverable would resolve one of the biggest usability issues with today's agents/IDEs. a simple convention here will go a long way! 🤘
Zod 4 is now in beta! 💎 7x faster object parsing 💎 20x reduction in tsc instantiations 💎 57% smaller core bundle size 💎 metadata via .meta() 💎 z.toJSONSchema() 💎 z.templateLiteral() 💎 z.stringbool() 💎 z.int32(), z.float32(), etc 💎 z.file() 💎 new logo 😇

i'm trying out a new OSS funding experiment—a "featured" sponsor slot at the top of the Zod README ✓ features are week-to-week (~140k impressions) ✓ simple auction-based pricing (per-week or standing bids accepted) ✓ artwork subject to approval DM/email me if your company is interested! 🤙
who suggested this and why weren't they fired immediately

star count for Standard Schema—pretty successful launch, i'd say 🤩
BIG DAY 😇 Introducing Standard Schema! It’s a specification for a standard interface to be implemented by TypeScript schema libraries. The goal is to make it easier for frameworks and tools to accept user-defined schemas, without writing separate adapters for different libraries. standardschema.dev
