Vision

The goal of npmx.dev is to build a fast, modern browser for the npm registry.

We're not replacing the npm registry, but instead providing an elevated developer experience through a fast, modern UI.

What npmx offers:

• Speed – Fast searching, filtering, and navigation.
• Simplicity – Get the information you need when you need it in an intuitive UI.
• URL Compatibility – Replace npmjs.com with xnpmjs.com or npmx.dev in any URL and it just works.
• Enhanced admin experience – Manage your packages, teams, and organizations from the browser, powered by your local npm CLI.

Shortcuts

• chat.npmx.dev - Discord Server
• build.npmx.dev - Builders Discord Server
• social.npmx.dev - Bluesky Profile
• repo.npmx.dev - GitHub Repository
• issues.npmx.dev - GitHub Issues
• coc.npmx.dev - Code of Conduct
• contributing.npmx.dev - Contributing Guide

Features

Package browsing

• Dark mode and light mode – plus customize the color palette to your preferences
• Fast search – quick package search with instant results
• Package details – READMEs, versions, dependencies, and metadata
• Code viewer – browse package source code with syntax highlighting and permalink to specific lines
• Provenance indicators – verified build badges and provenance section below the README
• Multi-provider repository support – stars/forks from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Codeberg, Gitee, Sourcehut, Forgejo, Gitea, Radicle, and Tangled
• JSR availability – see if scoped packages are also available on JSR
• Package badges – module format (ESM/CJS/dual), TypeScript types (with @types/* links), and engine constraints
• Outdated dependency indicators – visual cues showing which dependencies are behind
• Vulnerability warnings – security advisories from the OSV database
• Download statistics – weekly download counts with sparkline charts
• Install size – total install size (including transitive dependencies)
• Playground links – quick access to StackBlitz, CodeSandbox, and other demo environments from READMEs
• Infinite search – auto-load additional search pages as you scroll
• Keyboard navigation – press / to focus search, . to open code viewer, arrow keys to navigate results
• Deprecation notices – clear warnings for deprecated packages and versions
• Version range resolution – dependency ranges (e.g., ^1.0.0) resolve to actual installed versions
• Claim new packages – register new package names directly from search results (via local connector)
• Clickable version tags – navigate directly to any version from the versions list

User & org pages

• User profiles – view any npm user's public packages at /~username

• Search, filter & sort – find packages within user/org lists
• Infinite scroll – paginated lists that load as you scroll

URL structure

npm compatibility

npmx.dev supports npm permalinks – just replace npmjs.com with npmx.dev or xnpmjs.com to get the npmx experience:

npm URL	npmx.dev equivalent
npmjs.com/package/nuxt	npmx.dev/package/nuxt
npmjs.com/package/@nuxt/kit	npmx.dev/package/@nuxt/kit
npmjs.com/package/vue/v/3.4.0	npmx.dev/package/vue/v/3.4.0
npmjs.com/search?q=vue	npmx.dev/search?q=vue
npmjs.com/~sindresorhus	npmx.dev/~sindresorhus
npmjs.com/org/nuxt	npmx.dev/org/nuxt

Tip

Want automatic redirects? Try the npmx-redirect extension for Chrome / Firefox.

Not yet supported
