All I wanted was to fix vulnerabilities reported by GitHub Dependabot, like a do twice a month or so. Which is already maddening. But instead, npm just erased itself. (…)

Une page bloquée par Facebook et finalement rétablie, sans explication. C'est un désormais classique de la censure. "Votre publication ne respecte pas les règles de la communauté".

The framework maintains an open socket, which may seem like a bad idea, although I wouldn't bet against it, as it manages to reduces the request payloads compared to GraphQl or your run-off-the-mill web REST-ish API.
