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

deprisk

Dependency Risk Advisor for Node.js projects.

Identify maintenance risks, declining trends, and deprecated packages in your project. Deprisk suggests modern alternatives to help minimize technical debt and ensure long-term stability.

Features

  • Risk Assessment: Analyze dependencies for maintenance activity, usage trends, and deprecation status.
  • Health Scoring: Get an overall health score for your project's dependency tree.
  • Trend Detection: identify packages losing community momentum before they are abandoned.
  • Mitigation Suggestions: Curated suggestions for modern replacements of high-risk legacy packages.
  • CI/CD Integration: JSON output for automated build pipeline checks.

Installation

Install globally via npm:

npm install -g deprisk

Or run directly with npx:

npx deprisk scan .

Usage

Scan for Dependency Risk

Analyze the current project to see health scores and risk levels.

deprisk scan .

To output results in JSON format for automation:

deprisk scan . --json

Get Migration Suggestions

Get recommended modern alternatives for declining or deprecated packages.

How It Works

Deprisk evaluates risk factors by pulling real-time data from the npm registry and download statistics:

  1. Maintenance: Time since last update and release frequency.
  2. Deprecation: Official deprecation status on the npm registry.
  3. Popularity: Weekly download volume and long-term trends.
  4. Community Health: Heuristics to detect if a package is gaining or losing users.
