- user opens issue - maintainer replies, "makes sense to me, we should do it" - minutes later, totally unrelated agent opens (substandard) PR crazy times 😀

As @e18e.dev framework tracker is about to be released, we have started working on new tests. A very simple test using Lighthouse's Resource Summary is starting to show some interesting results. A simple HTML/CSS page SSR-rendered shows how much JS each framework adds.

Good fun catching up with everyone at react advanced yesterday 🎉

tinyps 0.5.1 🚀 Added a new function to get ancestors of a process. If you use ps-tree, find-process, etc - you can consolidate them by using this package instead, and at roughly the same size or smaller

looks like ill be in London this week for React advanced 👀 come say hi if you see me!

we released chokidar 6.0.0 yesterday 👀 this was a pretty big rewrite by Paul which fixes a whole bunch of flakiness and Windows problems. the main win for me: that pesky EBADF error goes away now that it supports recursive watchers! 🎉

Release 6.0.0 · paulmillr/chokidar

High-level changes Rewrote the watcher around a single observation pipeline. Backend callbacks are treated as invalidations and confirmed with lstat, stat, or readdir before any event is emitted, ...

helping revive the json5 package a bit this week, in the next release: - ESM only - ~35% faster parse - ~40% faster stringify

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

found another project to modernise 😄

TIL node has a built in way to strip typescript types 👀

couple of updates to maplint so it can now be used programmatically to validate sourcemaps! thanks to @jonkuperman.com

maplint - npmx

A tiny linter for validating source maps.

😬

finally been hit by the agents on one of the older projects i maintain 😅

> npm test passes (lint, 384 tests with 6 existing skips) 🤖

closing old issues and issues that don't get reported enough to be fixed is a good way to deter the bad agents

hueful has better types now and can convert to/from CMYK (using CSS level 5 `device-cmyk`) 🎨

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 😄

i use this regularly. highly recommend checking it out!

Hyperfine 2.0 is out, and it supports lots of new metrics, e.g. benchmarking RAM usage, CPU instructions, cache hit/miss etc! (screenshot from Charlie Marsh) github.com/sharkdp/hype...

not too long ago i joined as a maintainer of svelte's acorn-typescript plugin 👀 i missed hacking away at ASTs and parser stuff 😄 has also been super nice working with @baseballyama.bsky.social on modernising a bunch of it 🙏 always a joy to collab with the svelte team

community is key 💙

i wanted a more modern colour library, so i've created hueful! 🎨 - Convert between colour spaces - Stringify a colour in a space - Parse a colour string - Manipulate colours (e.g. lighten) This does the same job as the `color` lib & much more, without the weight of `colorjs.io`

working on some colour system stuff - so, so, so many magic numbers 😅

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

there are no rogue agents, its all PR.

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 🔥

As part of this, vitest also adopted the Human Voice AI contribution policy from ai-policy.dev 🤝 It's unfortunate the PRs have to be locked down to known contributors, but the vitest team are approaching it well here 🙏

Vitest@vitest.dev · 4w ago

We are updating our AI Policy to reduce maintenance stress. All pull requests are now automatically closed, unless they are created by maintainers or users from an approved list of contributors. The PR is not lost. If the team decides the change is worth pursuing, we will reopen it.

Jovi doing good stuff as always 🤌

Jovi 🐨@jovidecroock.com · last mo.

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.
