Zap – another JavaScript package manager
Hey! Zap is another package manager for the JavasScript ecosystem, written in Crystal and I have been working on this side project of mine for a year or so on-and-off. It aims to be fast but also: - flexible: configurable and supports advanced features like multiple install strategies, overrides, package extensions, workspaces, private registries… - reliable: multiple anti-corruption checks, store is flocked and supports multiple processes reading/writing to it… - dev friendly: tries to be sensible about the ouput and still display all the info needed There is still much work to do…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch

Unfortunately I will start a new job tomorrow hence I will not have the same amount of time to dedicate to Zap anymore, so I am posting the link here just in case someone is interested in trying it out :).

Trigger.dev is an open source platform that makes it easy for developers to create event-driven background tasks directly in their code. You write workflows using our SDK, and can view all the runs in our web app. Why we built this: - We found current workflow / automation tools like Zapier and n8n are good for simple tasks, but not for more advanced use cases. - Dropping down into code in these tools is just not a great…
- BABrioche – A new Nix-like package manager2024 · brioche.dev · ▲168
This is a project I've wanted to write for a long time now. I really love the ideas from Nix and I still have a ton of respect for the project, but Nix-the-language never felt intuitive to me and I wanted something with more approachable tooling (although this was circa 2016, so I'm sure Nix has improved a lot since then too-- that was before Flakes were around!) Anyway, I started on the current iteration of Brioche about 6 months ago, and I finally cut an initial release. I'd still consider this a "technical preview" version (performance especially is pretty painful, so that'll be a focus…
