That's fair! Doesn't have to be more code that you end up focusing on. New hobbies, existing ones, etc. Or just relax for a while!

Sounds like a good plan to me 😄

Excited to see what cool stuff you end up focusing on😀 sometimes you have to shuffle priorities like this
November 27, 2025 at 4:12 PM
pretty much. you should be able to run it in an ESM project in versions prior to 20.x fine

also fixed a gnarly bug in there that has had an open issue for a year or two now

was so happy to finally figure that out 😅

ill track most of it here for now (though this issue needs a rewrite as the scope changed since)
Roadmap: initial version · Issue #1 · e18e/framework-tracker
For this, I imagine a microsite which lists each of the popular frameworks in use today. For each one, we should render the dependency tree of its starter kit (or equivalent). This means we're rend...

we still need to get through high level discussions to narrow the scope, would love to have you in those if you have time (discord and calls)

basically the easy part is showing dependency analysis things (dep count, install size, dupes, unmaintained, redundant etc). but there's much more than that
November 25, 2025 at 3:00 PM
hah yes this is a crazy one but would be so useful if we can pull it off

often we measure the framework in isolation but not a typical project. there's a lot of useful metrics even before we try measure raw perf

some of it up front is just being there to shape the idea too. joining in the discussions until we know what exactly we want to build
November 23, 2025 at 11:34 AM
a large part of it is keeping momentum and defining the direction. there are plenty who want to contribute, but if the plan isn't clear enough, that is difficult

initially it may mean building the foundations w/ me until others can join

happy to try explain this better in discord or DM too

we already have a couple of projects in flight to give you an idea of what we're building:

- CLI to detect and auto-migrate replacements, polyfills, etc
- GitHub actions (e.g. the dependency diff action)
- MCP server

future areas: framework perf tracking, npm data analysis, compat data

jeez it did make sense initially, though typical wall-of-text-like, but then it just took a nose dive into crazy town 😅
November 21, 2025 at 10:39 AM
finally dropped the CLI! smart move that should've happened eons ago 😅

most of the size was from the CLI framework
November 20, 2025 at 1:51 PM
ive posted about this a few times now i know 😅

the only way you can get this to work is by running the typescript, which means changing all your project's imports to `.ts`

incorrectly because this project isn't built for engines that natively run ts, the imports should be .js
