npmx Advances Automated Documentation and API Reliability
Automated Documentation Prototypes
Initiated development on autogenerated package documentation, exploring two primary architectural variants: a client-side WASM approach using the Deno doc parser and a backend microservice variant. This effort aims to provide JSR-like API exploration for all npm packages.
Reactivity Performance Tuning
Executed a significant performance refactor by replacing deep 'ref' usage with 'shallowRef' where possible to reduce reactivity overhead. The team also migrated to VueUse's 'useEventListener' to ensure robust event listener cleanups and prevent memory leaks in code viewer routes.
Community & Ecosystem Growth
The community has reached 60 members, with nearly half contributing to the codebase. Social updates emphasize a high-trust, open-source building model similar to Vite and Elk. Project leads are also discussing the adoption of 'AGENTS.md' alongside traditional contributing guides.
API Integrity & SemVer Logic
Hardened the npmx-connector with improved error handling for `@scope:team` formats, returning graceful 400 responses instead of 500s. Version sorting was also corrected to strictly follow the SemVer specification, ensuring numeric segments are compared numerically.
UI Polish & UX Refinement
Upgraded 'PackageCard' with weekly download stats and a 'stretched link' pattern for better clickability. Added native tooltips for package timestamps and fixed a Firefox-specific bug where the footer was improperly hidden during scrolling.
