When you work with the service a lot, one of the most useful things is customizing the interface!
I prefer a higher foreground shade, and I'm glad it's now available as a setting in npmx.dev (the last config is my default)

It’s easy to complain about what could be better in the JS ecosystem. James takes a different approach: he sees something that could be improved and gets to work.
Through @e18e.dev & many other projects, he’s helping make our shared OSS infrastructure better.
So happy to have him at ZurichJS Conf.

Finally, you can eat your noodles and get more info. Started as a simple idea, and it's finally live: npmx.dev/noodles built this out to give every npmx creation a dedicated page.
The bowl is live, and it’s only going to get better from here.
