  3. pnpm

    Fast, disk space efficient package manager

    I use https://pnpm.io whenever possible. It has many benefits, the main one is that the node modules are symlinked to one big repo in your home directory, so there isn’t nearly as much duplication.

  4. express-rate-limit

    Basic rate-limiting middleware for the Express web server

    I think the readme gets included automatically even if you don't specify it in the files field, ditto for package.json.

    Compare https://github.com/express-rate-limit/express-rate-limit/blo... to https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-rate-limit?activeTab=c...

    Agree with you about the other points.
