It downloads every Javascript file from a URL and searches through the files for code that matches one of the 35,000 most popular npm libraries. The scanning itself works in a pretty ingenious way: When a user requests to scan a website, Bundle Scanner …

While looking at a package.json from a public project from PayPal, Alex Birsan noticed that it held some references to private NPM packages used internally by PayPal. Birsan noticed some of the manifest file packages were not present on the public npm repository but were instead PayPal’s privately created npm packages, used and stored internally …
Video from Kai Sassnowski’s talk at Laracon EU 2019: The goal of this talk is to explain how dependency containers work by building our own.

Whilst checking out the aforementioned IMcD23/TabView and a few other iOS/macOS libraries I could not help by notice the lack of CocoaPods and the presense of Carthage. Apparently the community is now leaning more towards the latter. Carthage is intended to be the simplest way to add frameworks to your Cocoa application. Carthage builds your …

Visualize and analyze your Webpack bundle to see which modules are taking up space and which might be duplicates. Generate JSON stats, and pass it into the online tool. webpack –json > stats.json You can also use the plugin locally if you want. Webpack Visualizer → Related: Disc – Browserify Module Tree Visualizer →
Disc is a tool for analyzing the module tree of browserify project bundles. It’s especially handy for catching large and/or duplicate modules which might be either bloating up your bundle or slowing down the build process. Build your bundle with the –full-paths flag and then pass that to discify: browserify –full-paths index.js > bundle.js discify …
