a fast, modern browser for the npm registry

npmx is a better UX/DX for the npm package registry and tooling. We provide a fast, modern interface for exploring packages, with features like dark mode, keyboard navigation, code browsing, and connections to alternative registries like JSR.

We also aim to provide a better admin UI for managing your packages, teams, and organizations โ€” all from the browser, powered by your local npm CLI.

@biilmann.blog: "Weโ€™re proud to be a sponsor of npmx, (...) Right now, itโ€™s more important than ever that core infrastructure companies in our space come together across competitive boundaries to sponsor and support the open ecosystem that lifts all boats" ๐Ÿ’™
Netlify @netlify.com
Netlify is sponsoring npmx.dev, a fast, modern browser for the npm registry.

Netlifyโ€™s take: as AI expands who can build software, we have to keep investing in the open source infrastructure that makes the ecosystem work.

Alpha release:

Minor QoL change to adjust the display of columns, but every OS journey has to start somewhere. Happy to contribute to the @npmx.dev journey. npmx.dev
I just need a few more of you to migrate to @vitest.dev so I can prove that crystal balls work ๐Ÿ”ฎ ๐Ÿ˜‰

(the charts from
npmx.dev are so neat โค๏ธ)
Slack DM from November 15th, 2024. Younes Jaaidi: "My speculation is that Vitest will surpass Jest usage by Q1 2026 ๐Ÿ”ฎ". Brandon Roberts replies: "2026! ๐Ÿ’€"

npmx.dev chart showing Jest vs Vitest monthly downloads from Nov 2024 to Mar 2026. Vitest grows from ~30M to 155.5M, surpassing Jest which sits at 143.3M. The lines cross around Q1 2026.
@abbeyperini.dev: "Inside the npmx Discord, I didnโ€™t expect to see a dedicated accessibility channel. I was delighted to see automated accessibility tests when I opened up my first PR for review. (...) I started to feel things that I hadnโ€™t felt since working in digital accessibility full time." ๐ŸŒฑ
Piccalilli @piccalil.li
Today is the alpha release of npmx โ€” an alternative browser for the npm registry. Abbey Perini joined early and soon discovered accessibility was a deep part of the culture, right from the start, which was both refreshing and incredibly productive.

@npmx.dev v0.4.0 got released ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰
Alexander does such great tutorials, and we're biased, but this may be in the TOP 5 of his best pieces so far. If you've missed it during npmx's alpha launch, today is a bright day to learn about all the features that the community has packed into npmx.dev. Time for a video! ๐Ÿ™Œ
Alexander Lichter @thealexlichter.com
npmx is one of the open source projects I use almost daily now. So glad to see the alpha release (and that I was able to sneak in a few PR as well).

Time for a video? Yes, absolutely ๐Ÿ™Œ

It's really weird, scrolling through the Bluesky feed, seeing @npmx.dev OG images EVERYWHERE and constantly being remembered where the design came from ๐Ÿ˜…

github.com/npmx-dev/npm... feels like one of the most impactful contributions I made to OSS so far. Feels kinda good tbh
Jono: "That's the open source mindset. You decide what to work on. You decide when. Nobody is keeping score, nobody is checking in, nobody is assigning you work. The only thing driving you is wanting to make the project better."

People do things because they care. ๐Ÿค
Jono Yeong @jonathanyeong.com
Another hit of @npmx.dev.

Wrote down my thoughts contributing to npmx over the past month. The future of open source is bright.

@43081j.com: "A large part of the e18e initiative is about documenting and advising developers on how to make their packages more performant. (...) As an npm frontend, npmx is the perfect place to surface this advice and tooling to developers at the point of discovery." ๐Ÿค
e18e @e18e.dev
today we saw the launch of npmx! here's what the community has already been collaborating on as part of this alpha launch, and what more is to come ๐ŸŽ‰
@jensroemer.com at npmx's alpha launch: "Weโ€™re in a turbulent time. And instead of simply waiting around for the 'inevitable', which is not as inevitable as weโ€™re made to believe, software developers are actually in a great position to affect the trajectory of things, and build the future we want" ๐Ÿ’ฏ
Announcing Vite+ Alpha.

Vale: "npmx has captured lightning in a bottle, but it hasnโ€™t done so through unreasonable or unachievable means. It has done so by doing what is right. npmx represents exactly what open-source should be and shows that best practices and genuine care goes a long, long way." ๐ŸŒฟ
Vale @vale.rocks
Congratulations to @npmx.dev, which has today entered into alpha!

It may still be early days, but it's a masterclass in community-first building. One of the most impressive open-source projects I've seen in terms of ethos.

npmx is how open-source should be done. I've written about it here:
@npmx.dev has a great custom badge feature. I built this playground to help you create badges and copy the code into your package README!

Jaydip: "It took around 1 month of collaborative effort to make npmx. from all over the world folks joined helped in all aspects of site to polish and provide the best thing we can. (...) You can do non-code contributions. which are as important to project as code." ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ
Jaydip Sanghani @jaydip.me
It has been a lot of fun. We sometime ignore non-code contributions.

wrote my thoughts on why it's important.

Faris: Why Iโ€™m writing this at all? Because this is what open source can be, at its best. Itโ€™s community. Itโ€™s people taking a chance on each other. Itโ€™s a space where you can show up with an idea, be a bit unsure, maybe even a bit slow, and still feel like you belong ๐Ÿค
Faris Aziz @farisaziz12.bsky.social
Happy @npmx.dev alpha day!

What an incredible project and inspiring people behind it.

this week's news is about how @tangled.org @npmx.dev and @alt.store are using open social networking protocols to build, distribute, and discover software, and how the most important part is not the code but the community building part
