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.

Tailwind CSS v4.0.0 Alpha
> Standalone CLI — we haven’t worked on a standalone CLI for the new engine yet, but will absolutely have it before the v4.0 release.
This part is the most exciting to me. Given the rest of the release announcement, I'm assuming this means that it'll be built in Rust rather than embed Node. While I'm not a Rust zealot of anything, I'm very partial to not embedding Node. Particularly when it depends on using Vercel's now-abandoned pkg[1] tool.`

Things I've learned about building CLI tools in Python
The npm package called "pkg" seems to be the standard for packaging NodeJS applications
https://www.npmjs.com/package/pkg
Unfortunately you also need to bundle all your code into a single file for it to work, but you can use any bundler (webpack, parcel, etc) you want at least

Deno 1.35: A fast and convenient way to build web servers
Nodejs support for "single executable applications" is getting there - this issue below is preventing wider adoption at the moment:
"The single executable application feature currently only supports running a single embedded script using the CommonJS module system."
https://nodejs.org/api/single-executable-applications.html
Should be an awesome game changer for node.js when the feature gets rounded out.
Also check out vercel's `pkg`: https://github.com/vercel/pkg/issues/1291

Can I include Node inside my project?
Yes, you can. Check out pkg for a fun option, which can package up your project and Node.js into a single executable.

Tips for reducing Docker image size
package the app using https://github.com/vercel/pkg and use a smaller base image like alpine, busybox or even scratch (if possible)

Theorizing ways to compile multiple JavaScript files into a portable executable
pkg is a tool that bundles up either JS source code or V8 bytecode, along with NodeJS in a binary file and a virtual filesystem, and produces an executable binary file.

So you're using a weird language
You could use ncc to compile a binary:
-
Contributors to AWS Lambda container cold starts
This appears to be caused by lazy loading of image layer data, particularly during container initialization, and latency introduced by the read operations. In general, you want to access as few files and as little data as possible during the initialization of your functions. For example, we've seen improvement when using ncc to bundle Node.js applications.

Tools of the Trade: Dyte CLI
What we do however, is bundle all these dependencies, and our own code into a single JS file using the nifty ncc tool (thanks Vercel!)

Managing JavaScript GitHub Action ncc packing
The most unclear and confusing part is packing the code using ncc. The necessity of this step is caused by GitHub’s approach to running your Action.

Ask HN: How do you (security) audit external software using NPM packages?
This may be slightly tangential but I recently discovered ncc[1] from vercel which can take a single node project and compile it and all dependencies to a single file.
As an added benefit it also collapses all contained dependencies license files into a single licenses.txt file too!

Compiling a Apollo Federated Graph with esBuild 🚀
The current process of building a package locally is by running through a gulp task, using ttypescript to compile the TS and @vercel/ncc to build the binary:
-
I launched Autobundle project which automatic bundle your dependency, ideally from Bundlephobia, powered by esbuild
- "introduce bugs": I dont' think so, my product is running like this, bundling every commit but I didn't see any problem. For bigger app: vercel using this way to delivery they's serverless application with https://github.com/vercel/ncc.
