    📦🐈 Active development trunk for Yarn ⚒

  • As a developer, I have used Yarn as an alternative to NPM for managing packages and dependencies in my Node.js projects. One of the things that I love about Yarn is its faster installation times compared to NPM. Yarn's caching mechanism ensures that packages are only downloaded once, which means that subsequent installations are much faster. Additionally, Yarn's parallel installation process allows multiple packages to be installed simultaneously, which further improves installation times.

  • Bower

    A package manager for the web

  • Bower is a package manager specifically designed for front-end web development. It can be used to manage JavaScript, CSS, and HTML packages and dependencies. It was developed by Twitter and is known for its simplicity and ease of use. However, it is worth noting that Bower is no longer actively maintained, and developers are encouraged to use other package managers like Yarn or PNPM instead.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc.
