I found 3 quietly deprecated dependencies in my own project — no warnings, just sitting there for months. That's what pushed me to build PkgDiet. One command scans your Node.js project and flags: 🗑️ Unused dependencies 🏥 Deprecated or unhealthy packages 📦 What's bloating your node_modules 💡 Lighter, modern alternatives (moment → dayjs, etc) Free, open source, dry-run-safe by default — it never touches your files unless you explicitly confirm. npx pkgdiet — try it and tell me what it finds
I’ve used PkgDiet on a couple of my projects, and it genuinely helped me identify unnecessary dependencies and understand what was bloating my node_modules. Really useful tool, especially for keeping projects clean and lightweight. Great work!
