· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Modern, open source package registry for JS/TS modules. ESM-only. Supports multiple package managers inc. npm, yarn, pnpm, Bun, Deno. Secure publishing workflows by default. Auto API doc generation and scoring to encourage best practices. Open source.

Tradeoffs

Requires a compatibility layer for npm. Forces you to use TypeScript and ESM, but it’s 2024 so this is also something we like!
