OSS Pull Request Therapy: Learning to Enjoy Code Reviews with npmx For years, I thought Open Source Software (OSS) just wasn’t for me. I had no plans to join any OSS communities on top of my existing developer community obligations. Curious about the hype I saw on Bl

⚠️ In 90 Minutes

Npmx is creating a wave of enthusiastic support. We’re in a moment where most discussion about OSS feels pretty bleak, the joy around npmx feels unique. Maintainers @danielroe.dev, @whitep4nth3r.com , and @patak.cat share their secrets.

The virtuous circle The virtuous circle is the most powerful pattern in developer tooling. And it's the myth of the 10x developer that makes it hard to see.

wrote a few words on why I think @npmx.dev might be going places

The not so stealth open source project I’ve been contributing to is now out in alpha! Very grateful for the wonderful community who have made this project truly special.

How to make your first contribution to an open source project Getting involved in open source doesn't have to be scary! Understand how to find a great project and make your first contribution in this ten-step guide.

To celebrate the launch of the @npmx.dev alpha, I wrote up a guide on how to make your first contribution to an open-source project.

Let me know if this helps you make your first contribution (and it doesn't have to be code)!

I still have no idea what the @npmx.dev team is planning tomorrow and I'm excited to find out what's happening while we're streaming at 9:30am Pacific. watch live here:

code and tests aren't the moat. they never were. no need for agents to copy a project. forking was always an option. the moat of an oss project is its community, its governance, and its ecosystem connections. agents will never be able to replicate that. don't hide. let's build in the open, together

I could never get into AI autocomplete. It felt like all the worst parts of pair programming.

Introduction - Standard.site A brief introduction to Standard.site lexicons, what they are, and how they're used.

Standard.site documentation is live !

We’re excited to share resources that broaden access to publishing on the social web.

A reminder of one of the loveliest pairs of siblings in the dictionary: β€˜muscle’ and β€˜mouse’. To the Roman imagination, the flexed biceps of a (typically naked) athlete resembled a rodent scuttling under the skin. β€˜Musculus’, in Latin, means β€˜little mouse’.

I’ve always been on the fringes of open source but after being thrust into the @npmx.dev community exactly one week ago, I can firmly conclude that this is the stuff that has always powered The Internet and it must continue at all costs.

npmx.digest An automated news aggregation website that summarizes npmx activity from GitHub and Bluesky every 8 hours.

You can't keep up with @npmx.dev feature drops? Me too, so I made an auto-generated news website: npmx-digest.trueberryless.org

This post itself may land on it, as it fetches Bluesky and GitHub for new content πŸ™Œ

npmx leaderboard for early likers

constellation can do oldest-link-first ordering now (thanks @maxh.site ) so who’s building this

Thought I'd talk a bit about npmx likes and how they work.

- They are on atproto
- The source of truth is from constellation 🌌. We get the total distinct did count, and if you have liked it
- Likes are cached server side for 5 mins.
- Uses the package url as the key to the record.
