In plain words

Lerna is a tool for managing large JavaScript projects with multiple packages.

Lerna is designed for JavaScript teams working on complex projects that benefit from a unified codebase structure.

    Hi! Leporello.js is an interactive functional programming environment designed for pure functional subset of JavaScript. It executes code instantly as you type and displays results next to it. Leporello.js also features an omnipresent debugger. Just position your cursor on any line or select any expression, and immediately see its value. Leporello.js visualizes a dynamic call tree of your program. Thanks to the data immutability in functional programming, it allows you to navigate the call tree both forward and backward, offering a time-travel-like experience. Leporello.js offers the ability…

    ChunkHound’s goal is simple: local-first codebase intelligence that helps you pull deep, core-dev-level insights on demand, generate always-up-to-date docs, and scale from small repos to enterprise monorepos — while staying free + open source and provider-agnostic (VoyageAI / OpenAI / Qwen3, Anthropic / OpenAI / Gemini / Grok, and more). I’d love your feedback — and if you have, thank you for being part of the journey!

    Chunk – Code sandbox for back-end devs2022 · chunk.run · ▲96

    Chunk co-founder here. We spent the last 2 weeks building this to scratch our own itch: As developers, we often have problems that could be solved just by running a few lines of code. Sometimes, running this code on your local machine is fine. But other time, the code need to run automatically reacting to external events or to run continuously, which means, it needs to run on a server somewhere. So now, you have to find a cloud provider, to package or build the code and finally to deploy it. All of that for what could be literally be 4 lines of code. We couldn’t find an easier way to do…
