  • depchecker

    Check how out of date your npm dependencies are

    You can use depcheck for that https://www.npmjs.com/package/depcheck no need to do that manually.

  • nocode

    The best way to write secure and reliable applications. Write nothing; deploy nowhere.

    Yeah this package is just a duplicate of nocode which has much better performance

  • 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.

  • npm

    In that context I looked up if there are packages called save-dev (15473 weekly downloads), save-prod (45 weekly downloads) etc. and found this: https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/20072

  • pants

    The Pants Build System

    There's also Pants?

  • pyflow

    An installation and dependency system for Python (by David-OConnor)

    Pyflow is a similar implementation of PEP582. NGL I wonder if it's better because of how good Rust stuff is. Probably a lot faster. Looks like you can install it via Pypi. I should've tested it before moving to PDM. Though it seems dev is a bit slow. Hmmm.

  • PDM

    A modern Python package and dependency manager supporting the latest PEP standards

    I've recently found PDM which has much more active development. Documentation could be a bit better, but the same is true of Poetry and basically everything else in Python. Maybe better documentation than Poetry? Doesn't force you to rely on venvs -- uses a new PEP for autodetecting dependencies in a project. Faster resolving than Poetry (whereas pip-env is actually wrong and even slower).

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
