  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • http-server

    a simple zero-configuration command-line http server

  • For this experiment we won't even publish it to npm or anywhere else, we can just serve this file locally with http-server. This file will be accessible locally via http://127.0.0.1:8080/is-number-7.0.0.tgz.

  • lockfile-lint

    Lint an npm or yarn lockfile to analyze and detect security issues

  • An additional approach may be to use lockfile-lint, but you shouldn't just rely on this script entirely because there are other ecosystems than npm, and they may have similar issues.

  • 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. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
