🌲 PSA: Beware of End-of-Life Node.js Versions

Matteo Collina notes the Node.js ecosystem is β€œat a critical juncture”, with v18 and earlier now β€˜End-of-Life’. He breaks down what that really means for users of legacy versions, and why you should skip Active LTS v20 and leap straight to v22 for maximum future-proofing. If you have to stay on older versions, though, Matteo shares an option to consider.

⛽️ npmgraph: A Tool to Visualize npm Module Dependencies

Give this Web-based tool one or more npm package names (or even your package.json file) and you can see a visualization of the dependency graphs for those packages, including where they intersect. Packages can be colored by various criteria (such as number of maintainers) and you can download SVGs of the graphs.
