This is monikgandhi, creator of LibStack. LibStack provides a search for Node.js packages with data from NPMJS registry and Github so there is no need to check both platforms. You get to know the number of stars, watchers, forks, issues and downloads of a Node.js package all in one place. The app also provides a coding playground so the package can be tried and tested in the browser before it is installed. I’d love to hear your feedback. Right now only Node.js packages with more than 1000 stars on Github have been indexed and are searchable. Give it a try.

Is it possible to embed the editor on a web page?


Yeah, but it only makes sense to do so on a page that already is using react. If you are using some other JS framework it will add 140kb dep on react+react-dom - which might be a problem (or not depending on your use case).


Definitely a good point. Just wanted to note that you could write a renderer in some server language that outputs static HTML. And only use the editor to make that static content editable (loaded asynchronously or on a different route). The serialized state is easy to parse by design.


That is an excellent idea!


Yes, it’s Backend-agnostic and designed to be embeddable into any web app. It’s basically an editor framework to define your own editor and you write the glue code to your web app.


TBH my suggestion is to work on making this more clear of who it's for. Maybe add a comparison to other current solutions out there, since at first I was a bit confused what it's trying to do. Maybe use like intro.js or something for it.


I like the story of describing pays by 'Levadownskis'.

I believe bad things happen when someone gets really greedy and tries to find ways around basic rules.


This is mind blowing. I never thought about this while ordering coffee through Starbucks app. It’s following the same model as Robinhood.


I really like this thinking, its more independent and logical. Just because the idea worked for one, doesn't mean its gonna work for all. We need to create our own paths to freedom.
