🚀 Reimagining NPM: A Smarter, More Secure Package Ecosystem
Package managers—from npm to vcpkg, Conan, Cargo, nuget-dotnet, pip, Maven, and beyond—often fail to give you a complete view of a package before you add it to your project. In today’s rapidly expanding (and often insecure) internet, developers need better tools and insights to ensure that each dependency they bring in is secure, well-maintained, and widely adopted.
Many organizations take security seriously, yet still rely on patchwork solutions that small companies often can’t afford. That’s why we built a lightweight layer on top of NPM—we’re calling it Better NPM – ExpressoTS Store—to deliver a comprehensive view of every package you consider. This includes data on security breaches, maintenance status, and adoption rates. We’re also focusing on providing ecosystem-wide details that help you scan your project, spot potential vulnerabilities, and make truly informed decisions when selecting dependencies. (SCAN in development)
Why Better NPM – ExpressoTS Store?
✅ Transparency: Gain rich insights into package security, maintenance activity, and adoption statistics.
✅ ExpressoTS Plugin Hub: Discover all plugins built for the ExpressoTS Framework in one place.
✅ Better Analytics for Maintainers: Understand how packages are used and receive feedback on how to improve them (feature in development).
✅ A Unified Marketplace: A central hub for vetted plugins and extensions, ensuring consistency and quality.
🔐 Security at the Core: Stop scavenging GitHub issues and third-party tools. Our goal is to arm you with detailed security info up front, so you can focus on building rather than endlessly verifying.
