Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

CLI analyzes your JS dependencies and recommends replacements. Can make suggestions for libraries with better performance, replacing libraries with platform features, packages that are outdated and no longer maintained, and reducing dependencies with stubs.

Tradeoffs

JS ecosystem-only. Is it the right philosophy to override dependencies to those maintained by a single vendor? This is one of those tricky security tradeoffs.
