This is exactly why you can't replace DevOps engineers with AI

Before installing new software, I usually visit its GitHub page or Wikipedia entry first and click through to the official site from there. I just don't trust the 'official' sites that pop up in Google search results. How many of you do the same?

Don't forget the SourceForge rug pull, when the once definitive central source of truth was bought out and became a venue for malware

Why not use your package manager as a first step instead?

Does this form based interaction offer any specific advantages over chatting directly with ChatGPT or Claude? Essentially the site is still powered by their APIs and it is just the interface that is different.

I mean that's the question the author asks, the answer is to test it out yourself.

Yes, Facebook's early PHP code looks pretty bad by today's standards

I don't think npmx has better UI/UX than npmjs.com. It could even be said to be worse. The npmx page doesn't have any other colors, it's all gray, and the page has too many elements that are too cluttered. You can compare these two pages:

https://npmx.dev/package/vue

https://www.npmjs.com/package/vue

Decide for yourself which UX is better.

I think that npmjs uses colors too much to the point of irrelevance. Why are links in the README red? Why is the code tab red? Why is the download graph purple?

Compare your npmx link to vue to https://npmx.dev/package/node-red-contrib-rtc-alert-node . This package uses deprecated and vulnerable deps and npmx correctly uses color to draw attention to it. And because the npmx page is normally monotone, the use of color actually draws your attention.

Regarding clutter - I agree.

I really like how the did the sidenav scrolling.. I was trying to do the same thing on one of my sites the other month and couldn't figure it out. It's not merely sticky, if you make your window too small for it to fit, it does interesting things.

Some code may be AI generated, because the code uses "══════" to separate terminal output. In my experience, Claude really likes to use this character to separate terminal output.

>Claude really likes

Plenty of developers really like it too though, because that's where Claude learned to use it.

Maybe, but at least OP typed in the commit message by himself. That places you in the top percentile these days

I recently built a similar project too, a self hosted IP reputation API service: https://github.com/NetworkCats/ProxyD
