Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Dependicus

Dependicus is a dependency governance tool for monorepos. It collects data from your lockfiles, tool configs, package registries, and GitHub, then produces two outputs: an interactive dashboard, and tickets for either Linear or GitHub.

If you maintain a monorepo with multiple teams, dozens of workspace packages, and hundreds of dependencies, Dependicus gives you the visibility that automated-PR tools don't: which dependencies are behind, by how much, who owns them, and where teams have drifted to different versions of the same package. The dashboard is a single view of your entire dependency landscape. The tickets are driven by compliance policies you define.

You can define SLOs for how quickly different kinds of updates need to happen, route tickets to the right team, group related dependencies, and distinguish between advisory notifications and hard deadlines. The tickets are rich enough that coding agents can pick them up directly.

Dependicus supports pnpm, bun, yarn, npm, mise, uv, Go, and Rust as dependency providers, with auto-detection of the active one. Node.js package managers, mise tool versions, Python dependencies managed by uv, Go modules, and Rust crates are all tracked in a single unified view. It has a plugin system for customization. It’s a young open source project, but we use it daily at Descript.

Quickstart

You only need to run a couple of commands to see whether Dependicus is useful to you. First, collect the data and generate the static site.

export GITHUB_TOKEN=<a GitHub token> # speeds up fetching of changelogs and tags

# pnpm
pnpm dlx dependicus@latest update --html

# bun
bunx dependicus@latest update --html

# yarn
yarn dlx dependicus@latest update --html

# npm
npx dependicus@latest update --html

# open ./dependicus-out/index.html

If you're a Linear shop, you can reuse the same data to create issues when updates are available. The default behavior is very naive, so this example uses --dry-run just to give you a sense of what would happen.

export LINEAR_API_KEY=<a Linear API key>
pnpm dlx dependicus@latest make-linear-issues \
    --linear-team-id=<uuid of a Linear team> \
    --dry-run

Or use GitHub issues:

pnpm dlx dependicus@latest make-github-issues \
    --github-owner=<owner> \
    --github-repo=<repo> \
    --dry-run

Dependicus offers extensive customization through its JavaScript API.

Peer dependency note

The Linear integration (make-linear-issues) depends on @linear/sdk, which has a transitive peer dependency on graphql. If your project uses strictPeerDependencies, you may need to add graphql to your own dependencies. This is only required for Linear ticket creation.
