🧹 Time to clean up!

unjs/ofetch ($fetch) v2 (alpha)

- 🌐 ESM-only + Native Web APIs
- 📦 Zero deps (3 → 0)
- 📉 Install: 900 KB → 28 KB
- ⚡️Bundle: 17.4 KB (6.5 KB gz) → 6.3 KB (2.4 KB gz)

More optimizations to come 🤞

🪝 Hookable powers Nuxt & Nitro hooks — every build, request, and render calls it.

🔥 v6.x (rc): 20–35× faster and 79% smaller (−2.26 KB) (with HookableCore)

Thanks @negezor for the perf magic ✨

when you want to `open` something (like the MacOS `open`), you don't need a 9 dependency package, you can use tiny-open instead!

and if you do want the browser launching stuff, you can use tiny-browser-open:

svelte.dev/packages is now live!

It's a convenient and easily discoverable place to find a sampling of high quality packages in the ecosystem. We hope it will give confidence in the Svelte ecosystem to newcomers and help them get started more easily.

we now have some new @e18e.dev docs on best practice of publishing npm packages

this documents the recommended basics for a secure publish workflow and gives some pointers for further security/tools/etc

this is a _very_ opinionated subject, so do ping me if you have feedback!

`@bluwy/giget-core` is now back to a small 90kB install size thanks to @ayuhito.com's `modern-tar` package! Perf is also slightly faster.

we now have an @e18e.dev github action which can diff your dependencies in PRs

things like:
- change in trust level (loss of trusted publisher)
- adding >threshold dependencies
- adding >threshold install size
- bundle size difference (vs main)
- duplicate deps

early days so please give feedback!

Some libraries publish sourcemaps with "sources" pointing back to the original but unpublished src files, making it harder to trace errors as the files aren't there to be inspected.

I wrote a script to identify those!

NPM supports switching from Authenticator App (TOTP) based 2FA to more phishing resistant WebAuthn based 2FA.

Adding a WebAuthn security key and disabling the Authenticator App is a pretty quick process.

For example Apple Touch ID & Windows Hello work! Physical keys work too, but aren't required.

1. Never manually enter your GitHub or npm password; use a Passkey instead.
2. Enable npm 2FA for both authorization and publishing.
3. Use trusted publishing and remove all npm CI tokens.
4. Only invite maintainers who follow these security practices.
All the packages affected by this attack had not enabled trusted publishing and provenance.
- The top four packages were all impacted.
- More than half of the top ten packages were affected.

73 million downloads a week of 9 lines of code to check if something is an array

ah and its 54KB because a yarn error log was accidentally published in the package 7 years ago
