Repositories every developer should know about — not just what's trending today.

vitejs/viteEditor's Pick

“The modern default frontend build tool - native ESM in dev means a dev server that starts and reloads almost instantly, even on large apps.”

eslint/eslint

“The standard JavaScript linter - catches real bugs, not just style nits, and its plugin ecosystem covers virtually every framework.”

oven-sh/bunHidden Gem

“A drop-in Node.js/npm replacement that's dramatically faster at installs, startup, and test execution - low-risk to try on an existing project.”

prettier/prettier

“Opinionated, zero-config code formatting - once adopted, formatting simply stops being a discussion topic in code review.”

pnpm/pnpmHidden Gem

“A content-addressable package manager that's both faster and dramatically more disk-efficient than npm/yarn, with none of npm's phantom-dependency bugs.”

denoland/denoHidden Gem

“An all-in-one JavaScript runtime, bundler, test runner, and package manager - genuinely faster than the Node.js equivalents it replaces.”

vercel/turborepoHidden Gem

“Makes monorepo builds fast via aggressive local/remote caching - the difference is dramatic once a repo has more than a couple of packages.”

jdx/miseHidden Gem

“Replaces a pile of separate version managers (nvm, pyenv, rbenv...) with one fast tool - a small change that removes a surprising amount of daily friction.”

casey/justHidden Gem

“A command runner that does what most teams actually use Make for, without inheriting Make's tab-sensitivity and legacy baggage.”

jesseduffield/lazydockerHidden Gem

“The same lazygit idea applied to Docker - a terminal dashboard for containers, logs, and images that beats memorizing docker CLI flags.”
