There's also dot-http[0] which aims to provide a similar interface to what IntelliJ's requests feature has. I've used it a few times. It's a shame development has died, so hopefully Hurl can take its place.

It would be a little funny that GitHub, a proprietary code hosting platform, suddenly cares that proprietary software uses it to host bug reports or other assets. This isn't the first project I've seen that is nothing more than a README and exists simply for people to file issues. e.g. there is https://github.com/cursive-ide/cursive
With that said, Codeberg has a strict policy of hosting software licensed under an OSI or FSF approved license.[1] They will actually take down repositories that do not follow this guideline.

Has anyone ever managed to resolve npm dependencies installed by shadow-cljs in Cursive?

There's no way to do it on the user end since it's something that has to be done in Cursive itself. There's an issue for this: https://github.com/cursive-ide/cursive/issues/2333
