kaviar VS verdaccio

What's next? Depends on you, let me know in the comments what are you looking for in a framework to make your workflow a breeze? Bang that star on GitHub to show some love and have a great day!

If I was creating a project like yours with multiple related packages I would be tempted to create a monorepo. I was going to share the pros and cons I've experienced when creating and working with monorepos for Node.js projects, however I'm not totally clear on the purpose of the "central repo" which you've linked to (https://github.com/kaviarjs/kaviar). In the README it says:

do you know the project https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio

Verdaccio allows to setup a private proxy registry for Node.js

Verdaccio does okay for this

There’s also this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/verdaccio

Cool! What makes Package Depot better than existing solutions such as verdaccio?

I highly recommend using a package proxy like https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio instead of git submodules if you have more then one developer using your code/repo. Biggest factor is the cost of the developers time. Why teach them a different way to install dependancies when there is a standard way of doing things your CI/CD is simplified, the knowledge of git submodules is good to know, but this is now tribal knowledge on how to setup this up, update dependancies, etc...

The goal of verdaccio is to make this less complicated. https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio
