verdaccio VS kaviar

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

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

In the README it says:
