Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Panda CSS: build time and type-safe CSS-in-JS
This looks a lot better than I expected.
One thing that bugs me about this (and Tailwind) is the number of dependencies they pull in. Panda has 152 nodes (239, if you count their dev-dependencies)[0].
Tailwind has 98 (594 if you count their dev-dependencies).
I know they're only dev-dependencies, but still... I've got all of that code running on my machine, just to process CSS. I really don't love it.

List all dependencies from package-lock.json without npm: Vet my code!
This is what I came up with. I get 514. I got 496 here https://npmgraph.js.org/. I'm curious what you get using npm and/or yarn, or other tool.

Why do we use bundlers if most modern modules are ES modules?
For a real-world example, check out my npmgraph.js.org tool. It crawls a module's dependency tree on the fly, fetching the NPM registry info for each module. For a large dependency graph like the one for gatsby, on my 60 mbps connection the client completes 1,200+ requests (120MB of data) in about 10 seconds.

Sponsor the open source projects you depend on
Why Array.isArray() when you can require("is-array").isArray()?
deep-equal has 43 packages that are mostly has-*, is-* packages (https://npmgraph.js.org/?q=deep-equal) and you’ll find this package included in a lot of upstream libraries.

Show HN: Unknown Pleasures, a tiny web experiment with WebGL
The great irony of this post is that the author dreams of a world where they can use a library without it depending on hundreds of other modules, yet their website is built on Gatsby, an NPM package with one of the most insane dependency graphs I've seen. Uploading the author's website's package.json[1] into npmgraph[2] lists a total of 1561 dependencies. All that for what amounts to a simple blog site.

I installed Node JS 5 min ago, and only installed React. Where the fuck all these packages came from?
You can actually graph the horrible depencency tree of any package you want here: https://npmgraph.js.org/

Show HN: Postgres.js – Fastest Full-Featured PostgreSQL Client for Node and Deno
> Postgres.js is also a zero dependency module, whereas Slonik has quite the dependency graph meaning - compare https://npmgraph.js.org/?q=slonik with https://npmgraph.js.org/?q=postgres.
This one just made my day. Thanks. I remember trying to build a tool at work with as little as possible dependencies (in python) and how satisfying it was to see quite a few dependencies just being wrappers replaces with 5 lines of my own code that i could easily audit and ensure no supply chain attack was possible for that functionality.

Guidelines for choosing a Node.js framework
Dependency graph. The more dependencies a framework has, the larger the attack surface area. It can also make debugging issues in your applications much more difficult. You don’t need to find a framework with zero dependencies, but you should have some awareness of a framework’s dependency graph. The tool npmgraph can provide you with an excellent overview.

Should I be using TypeORM for a large scale project?
Recognize when you're the person holding the project back: This has happened to me a couple times now. When your interest in a project wanes, be deliberate about recognizing that. Focus what little energy you do have on recruiting people to help out (or even take over).

PLJS – JavaScript Language Plugin for PostreSQL
a bit more than an experiment at this point. pljs, even in its early state, has some very good results: https://github.com/plv8/plv8/issues/531#issuecomment-1627883...
passing through v8's javascript/c++ membrane has always been painful, and appears to be getting worse.

Sending Email From Postgres
From here you'll write a send_email function in Postgres that calls the API. I initially wrote the entire function in PLpgSQL and spent an entire day to get it debugged and working. And even then I wasn't happy with it. In my opinion that language is unintuitive and difficult to learn and debug. I switched over to PLV8, an extension for Postgres that supports writing functions in Javascript. It takes one click in the Supabase UI to enable this extension, and it will save hours and hours of time.

I wrote a database engine in Typescript
You jest, but the evil geniuses at plv8 have already done it for Postgresql.

Surrealdb – FOSS document-graph database, for the realtime web in Rust
To be honest I haven't used it, but I've extensively used pl/pgsql and a little pl/ruby, and know that https://plv8.github.io/ exists - it might be what you're looking for and it's on my list of things to play with

Show HN: Postgres.js – Fastest Full-Featured PostgreSQL Client for Node and Deno
but, let's take your straw man a little further. let's suppose that all of the actual parsing is done for you already, and all you're doing is iterating through the data structure, creating objects through the c++ api, and calling it good. that should be faster than calling the c++ JSON.parse(), shouldn't it? since we don't have to actually parse anything, right? no, it's actually much slower. you can see this in action at https://github.com/plv8/plv8/blob/r3.1/plv8_type.cc#L173-L60...
again, we're not talking about whether javascript in an interpreter is faster than c++, we're talking about whether v8's api causes enough slowdown that some workloads that require a lot of data between c++ and javascript are slower than the same workload that requires very little data between c++ and javascript ... because passing through v8's c++/javascript membrane is slow.
