I missed everything and just noticed all the fun

I understand that it takes too much time to polish details...
So I put on a couple of tracks and here we go

./ @npmx.dev is coming to ATmosphereConf 2026!

@patak.dev and I will be giving a talk on how the community has come together to create a better developer experience and how we've added new social features with AT Protocol!

Not to mention other npmx ppl joining us... 👀

That's definitely true, but first free open source needs ways to become interesting to these people
free open source software needs fewer engineers and more designers and product people

5 years ago? 5 years?

Goddess, this wasn't even my first pet project

A man about 45 years old, obviously drinking, stopped in front of me on a bicycle and asked if I have a boyfriend.

I want just one percent of their self-confidence

Two such important decisions in two months on issues of women rights and freedoms. I'm crying and tenderly love this part of the world 🇪🇺
In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."

Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.

It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Our latest.
European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women"
The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

I was really happy to see this and hear kind opinions on the live stream 💙

The main thing the whole @npmx.dev community agreed on is that we want to improve not only the daily search experience but also the interactions and ownership

Atproto is definitely the best tool for this

I told my daughter my job from now on is to take care of my oss friends, so we can build together an awesome online world for when they grow up and join us in the fun. We'll do things differently from now on. We've found each other again. We'll do good for the web, and make a ton of new friends.

I've fallen in love with developing with people again 💙

The atmosphere, the ideas, the knowledge, and communication with these people are definitely worth every second
We're more than 150 humans collaborating at repo.npmx.dev 🎉

Definitely one of my favorite parts of npmx.dev, awesome work 💙

I'm glad that now even more people will be able to *see* this beauty. That's what we're here for

we just rolled out an experimental integration with @germnetwork.com, an E2E encrypted chat app that integrates with atproto.

Germ users can add a button to their profile so others can message them from Bluesky.

we're exploring ways to connect your profile with other apps in the Atmosphere.

🙋‍♂️ I _could not be more thrilled_

this isn't a zero-sum game

we're here to make the web better for everyone, and this is a win 🔥

props to @npmjs.bsky.social 🙏
Well, well, well... look who suddenly remembered they can ship new features. Right after the community started working on an alternative. What a coincidence! 🙃

For the first time, I have zero issues in my internal queue for npmx.dev

I don't know how we managed it given how fast it was, but we made the service *even* faster

(and this incredible team doesn't stop)
npmx - Package Browser for the npm Registry
a fast, modern browser for the npm registry. Search, browse, and explore packages with a modern interface.

Open GitHub > switch to branch (wait a minute to switch) > wait another minute to open readme code ~ 2 minutes

Open npmx > change version > open code > open readme ~ *nothing*

Every time I think it will be easy to figure it out, I find myself 2 hours later in a library source-code 10 levels deeper than what I was looking for

Finally, GitHub picked up the baton from CloudFlare in caring for developers

I'm happy that this amazing change started with me filing an "issue" on the Discord channel. Discussed the issue, came up with a solution, and 24h later we got a fix. Mind-blowing! 🤯
You can now view downloads stat estimations on @npmx.dev !
So many improvements and new features are added every day, it's mind blowing 🥰

Feedback is welcome at chat.npmx.dev
Issues are gifts, send them to repo.npmx.dev
PRs are colour touches on a beautiful collective canvas

I love watching all the avatars I'm subscribed to appear in chat.npmx.dev

This is an incredible number of people that I so love to read and now discuss ideas with 💙
