Ask HN: What is the best way to discover NPM packages?

3 pointsby seekayelabout 3 years ago
What is the best way to discover npm packages?<p>All of the ways I&#x27;ve found seem very manual and imprecise. Any recommendations or improvements? Here is what I try:<p>Process: - Google &quot;npm for feature&quot; check search suggest and results - Check https:&#x2F;&#x2F;snyk.io&#x2F;advisor&#x2F; for similar results and quality score of packages - google search &quot;package vs ...&quot; and see what comes up - Check packages used in open source projects<p>Other suggestions?

I just use GitHub search and filter by TypeScript (or JavaScript if I’m feeling really desperate).<p>Of course this will miss the rare npm package not published on GitHub. You can also check <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;libraries.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;libraries.io</a>
