There are indeed many ways of consuming HN/news. Here are just few ways I've collected recently:

- https://hckrnews.com/

- https://hcker.news/

- https://hn.unlurker.com/

- https://refactoringenglish.com/tools/hn-popularity/

- https://lessnews.dev/

- https://news.kagi.com/world/latest

- https://forty.news/

- https://news.ysimulator.run/news

Not aware of any NPM native ways but here are few community tools:

Other than general security practices, here are few NPM ecosystem specific ones: https://github.com/bodadotsh/npm-security-best-practices

Merge rates is definitely a useful signal, but there are certainly other factors we need consider (PR small/big edits, refactors vs deps upgrades, direct merges, follow up PRs correcting merged mistakes, how easy it is to setup these AI agents, marketing, usage fees etc). Similar to how NPM downloads alone don’t necessarily reflect a package’s true success or quality.

I suspect most are pretty small. But hey, that is fine as long as they are making code bases a bit better.

This type of comment doesn't contributing to anything. Rememebr most devs just code for work, and don't want to learn a new language/ecosystem _just_ so they can use a different framework.

Good to see I'm not the only who wants a cleaner newsfeed to cut through this information overload noises. Coincidentally, I also spent the last weekend building a curated, HN-based newsfeed for the busy web developers: lessnews.dev[1]

Hey everyone, wanted to show you my new side project: lessnews.dev

It's a curated, high-quality newsfeed for web developers — only deliver relevant links, but not too frequently so it's not another doomscrolling site. I came up with the idea after personally feeling overwhelmed by the amount of posts online. There are platforms like daily.dev, but I wanted something faster, simpler, and more focused.

The site was built over a weekend, so it's still early-stage, but you can already: - Browse the latest links - Mark articles as read - Subscribe via RSS - Submit links

More features might come later, but the core idea will stay the same: a newsfeed for busy web developers.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

HN need to publish their secrets on how they rarely goes down!

Based on what I've read in the past, I believe the secret is simplicity. Simplicity scales

It would be awesome if we can sketch diagrams and code in the same canvas! This would make visual documentation much easier.

you can do asciidoctor, plantUML kroki in vscode so maybe its present mode can already be used in there like that?
