Hey Product Hunt š
I found 3 quietly deprecated dependencies in my own project ā
no warnings, just sitting there for months. That's what pushed
me to actually build this.
PkgDiet scans your Node.js project and flags:
šļø Unused dependencies (AST-parsed, not guessed)
š„ Deprecated/unhealthy packages
š¦ What's bloating your node_modules
š” Lighter, modern alternatives
Dry-run safe by default ā it never touches your files unless
you explicitly confirm.
Free & open source: npx pkgdiet
Would genuinely love feedback, especially anything it gets
wrong on your projects š
