Using the @e18e.dev MCP server has been pretty fun. "Check the dependencies for any redundant ones", and it does a pretty good job! We can improve it but it's a great start 🎉 Big thanks to @paolo.ricciuti.me being the resident ai guy 😄

come join us tomorrow on the live stream where we'll be chatting to Oliver about porffor! 🎉

Summer break is over: The @e18e.dev & friends show is coming back next week 🎉 And we got nobody else than the one and only @honk.foo talking about Porforr and how a future for natively compiled JavaScript could look like! Swing by at 7pm CEST / 1pm EDT on August 4th 👌 youtube.com/live/L8Edgas...

What other way to start the day but joy and cringing at watching myself speak. @patak.cat and my talk is up now!! 🧵 www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqdJ...

new @e18e.dev blog post about when to publish source maps to npm 📦 source maps are often the reason behind bloated install sizes, but sometimes necessary. here we try to explain some of the balance, do/don't

Source maps or not?

Source maps are great for debugging, but should we be shipping them in production?

While some people laughed about the number of dependencies in the JS world, others worked to improve the ecosystem (like @e18e.dev). Now many of my open source projects have around 20 packages in node_modules, including transitive dependencies.

new @e18e.dev effort just kicked off: dieting rust crates 🦀 huge thanks to @jacobasper.com for starting this. we're using the lean crate cargo diet to trim packaged crate sizes across the ecosystem tracking issue: github.com/e18e/ecosystem-issues/issues/280

✂️ Knip strict mode is about to detect which type-only packages are production dependencies. If their types appear in published declarations, consumers need them too. Try it out, welcoming feedback: PR: github.com/webpro-nl/kn... Docs: issue-1909-exact-type-depend.knip.pages.dev/guides/handl...

CodeRabbit's ESLint reviews now run the e18e ESLint plugin v0.5.1by default. It was great to collaborate with @43081j.com to make this possible 😍

tinyclip 1.0.0 is out! A tiny Node.js library for interacting with the system clipboard, built with @43081j.com. Already used by @astro.build, @nuxt.com and more, it only weights 8kB. If you need clipboard support in Node.js, give it a try: npmx.dev/package/tiny...

good timeline. this is magic-string, 140M dls/week. a week ago i asked if it could go ESM only - @sxzz.dev dropped a PR <1 day later 🎉 later, I removed sourcemaps and did 2 big CPU perf speed ups 🚀 love seeing a high impact package like this shrink and speed up

tinyglobby is two years old today 💙

FYI we have an @e18e.dev MCP server! you can use it remotely, or you can install it locally as a stdio server. this lets your agent check your codebase for redundant dependencies, polyfills, etc.

We got a few new individual sponsors recently in @e18e.dev - thank you to those of you who are supporting us 🙏 Getting sponsorships for a community is much harder than for a popular web app or dev tool. Every little helps. If you'd like to help us improve perf for all of us, check out our OC 🩵

Since experimenting with module federation at @sanity.io , we've teamed up with the core maintainers, @gioboa.bsky.social and with the help of the @e18e.dev tooling managed to cut the Module Federation Vite plugin's dependency footprint from 72 → 18. 🎉

The unsung heroes of our time. @43081j.com from the @e18e.dev community cut 1 MB from caniuse-lite. With 700M installs per month, that saves around 700 TB of global internet traffic every month. github.com/browserslist...
