Metrics are only a small part of our experience and perception of speed I'm glad that together, we’re finding ways to improve the other aspects day by day (join us at chat.npmx.dev 🚀)
Did you know that @npmx.dev serves 50 million requests a month, and 300+ contributors carry its ideas out into other projects? @alexdln.com and @willow.sh split "Beyond the fast lane" between how a page feels and the tooling under it @viteconf.org 2026, Thu 15 Oct (TODAY) at 2pm UTC. Free & online
I've been helping out @43081j.com on github.com/43081j/tangl..., and wanted a way to prioritize what to work on. I had an assumption that repos on Tangled, who have GH workflows but not yet Tangled workflows would be great candidates. So I did a quick script that goes through repos on Tangled...
There's an overview here tangled.org/jensroemer.c... there's a small section with repos/workflows that can convert nicely today @philippeserhal.com you have a few repos for example that are ready ;-) @oppi.li not sure if this is interesting to you folks
@philippeserhal.com might not be a master of time management, but he’s a damn good speaker! Also @patak.cat joining @zurichjs.com in his own way
Brought my sons along to the @zurichjs.com meetup tonight, they got some pizza, read some books and played a bit on the switch, and I was able to enjoy some of the talks. And they even got to bed at a decent time. I'm considering it a success!
Started setting up a starter pack for this, but how the heck do you remove yourself from the pack (damn you disabled checkbox that doesn't tell me why you're disabled)? Very happy to take suggestions for people btw go.bsky.app/AF7ELuY
I’m missing this as well, anyone has some recommendations?
Just got my ticket for #sveltesummit in Ljubljana, @fubits.dev and @reinhold.is thanks for convincing me! Now, you just have to promise you'll pick me up if I'm standing lonely in a corner without anyone to talk to! :-)
I’m missing this as well, anyone has some recommendations?
I'm still learning the ropes of bluesky after a nice and warm onboarding from @jensroemer.com , and I'd love to see some test automation, CI/CD, QA and SDET content in my feed! If you are working in this field or know someone, I'm happy to give a follow ⭐
James is doing amazing work for the JS ecosystem!
this year i've carved a big chunk of my time out to officially work on OSS. if you like what I do, or use the things I work on, sponsorships go a long way. these help me keep the balance I have, and allow me to dedicate a lot more time to open source. thank you to those who already sponsor me 💙
Convinced my old buddy and test automation wizard from Unity @theopnv.bsky.social to give bsky another try! Now he just needs some starter packs and I realize I'm not prepared for this. Anyone got some recommendations?
Been hanging out with the wonderful @npmx.dev folks (they are serious when they talk about community!) and a lot of other awesome people this week. What a great conference @localfirstconf.com and thanks to everyone organising!

discovered @npmx.dev this week and love it! the original npmjs[dot]com is soooo slow and not-pretty npmx.dev
Got asked by a neighbor if I could help his son out with a few issues he has with an app he's vibe-coded. I know next to nothing about app development, and besides if the agent cannot fix the errors then it would take me ages. So I counter-offered more general advice on the field instead, and now ..
When you have a 50% written blog post, and you find that a better version of that post already exists: docs.renovatebot.com/dependency-p... .. anyway, recommended reading!
This one felt easy :-) It took me 1 try to guess who @knowler.dev was @mystery-mutual.bsky.social mystery-mutual.fly.dev Winning Hint: They have a strong preference for left-aligned, stable content and believe sidebars should always expand or collapse on the right.

I'd love to build some better workflows around staged publishing approval, rather than rely on npm's UI and 2fa. Looking to get this feedback to the right folks github.com/orgs/communi... /cc npm release tool authors @danielroe.dev @notwes.bsky.social @nullvoxpopuli.com @jovidecroock.com

So excited and proud about this. We are working really hard behind the scenes on making the conference a great experience. Early bird tickets are still available. And please apply to speak! We aim to have a diverse speaker lineup and CFP is still open until April 1st!
We’re excited to welcome @vercel.com as our very first conference sponsor! They’re the team behind some of the biggest names in the ecosystem, with not only @nextjs.org, but also @svelte.dev and @nuxt.com. We're incredibly proud to have their support for our community conference: conf.zurichjs.com
Had the chance to meet up with Sam & give early feedback on this wonderful post. He approaches his writing with what I would call a UX mindset, and it's pretty damn inspiring to see. I'm not gonna reach the same level of quality in my writing, and that's fine, but it's cool to see how far one can go
I spent 2 months learning about quantization and am extremely proud of the post I've written about it. I think these are some of the nicest visuals I've ever made, and I love how this compression technique invented in 1898 is being used on the bleeding edge in 2026. ngrok.com/blog/quantiz...
Happy npmx .dev alpha release day! Go read the official launch post here: npmx.dev/blog/alpha-r... I’ve been involved in this awesome community, and wrote a few words on open source to celebrate the launch: jensroemer.com/writing/open...

Wrote a RFC for @npmx.dev The idea: surface packages that are silently bundled inside other packages' tarballs — and show their "implied downloads". Would love feedback 👇 github.com/npmx-dev/npm... Also applied to @e18e.dev

Made a small GitHub action wrapping @matteogabriele.bsky.social agent scanner package (github.com/MatteoGabrie...), so you can run the check in CI github.com/marketplace/... I got in touch w. Matteo because we’ve both contributed to @npmx.dev. On old twitter I used to just read stuff, not..
In all seriousness, from my experience it’s normal that feature-complete frontend’s will be considered “done”, and dedicated frontend resources are moved elsewhere permanently. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the case here. In which case the fault is on mgmt, not engineering.
Beat me to it 😅 poor backender being forced to do frontend is my guess.
