npmx Enhances Markdown Rendering and Global Localization
Visual Design and Light Mode Refinement
Completed a high-impact visual update by introducing the 'github-light' code theme for Light Mode, ensuring high contrast and consistent aesthetics with the dark theme. Resolved several CSS bugs where non-Shiki code blocks had unreadable black-on-black text.
Community & Ecosystem Growth
The community continues to expand with new contributors sharing their experiences on Bluesky. Project leaders highlighted the 'special foundation' of the open-source community currently driving the project. Collaborations with e18e are also being explored to integrate module-replacement suggestions directly into the UI.
Localization and i18n Workflow
Significantly scaled the internationalization effort by adding the German locale and integrating Lunaria for translation tracking. This new workflow includes a dashboard to monitor completion status and an automated GitHub Action to warn about outdated translation strings in pull requests.
User Interface and Mobile Optimization
Enhanced responsiveness for ultra-narrow viewports (e.g., iPhone SE) by implementing horizontal scrollbars for package manager tabs. Added a 'Sponsor' button to package pages and unified the navigation header with a persistent search bar and a functional 'back' button for the settings route.
Registry and Metadata Features
Introduced custom npmx.dev badges for embedding in READMEs and added fork count support for Tangled.org repositories via the Constellation API. Advanced install command logic now detects 'create-*' variants and binary execution scripts, tailoring the UI based on the specific package contents.
