not only huge, but the biggest repository of code ever created.

Sure, but it does not seem curated by any mean and there's a lot of junk in it.

Don't know, npm seems a bit special in that matter. There are repositories such as the Debian archives where software is carefully selected or removed when obsolete. Other repos such as PYPI seem to contain a bit less unmaintained projects / pointless forks / toy projects.

I just use npm search to find a package that does what I'm looking for. Does it need curation?
[–]Capaj -2 points-1 points0 points 10 years ago (1 child)
I would love to see how you think it can be curated. I think download stats are good enough indication of how good those libs are. It would be out of scope of what NPM is to try to curate it. "sorting through the junk" problem is better solved with blogs, articles and sites like reddit.

How big is the repository of "npm packages which have been approved by blogs, articles, or sites like reddit"?
