SearchNPM is the new premier discovery method for finding NPM packages. It provides a mobile quick reference for searching through NPM packages via keywords: no terminal shell required.
SearchNPM is built on top of a Node.js app (naturally) that acts as a search API for npmjs.org. Local caches? No more! It also pulls key information from GitHub repositories like the README file and the main contributors to the package.
Server-side automatic database updates means that you dont have to worry about local storage or latest revisions: its all taken care of.
This initial release of SearchNPM concentrates solely on the, well, search aspect of the app. Future updates will bring exciting new features, like:
- Pinned Packages: Found a package that you want to use in a project? Pin it to a project board for later use.
- Package RFC’s: Quickly send an email with all the relevant package details to your co-workers and start a discussion.
- Notes: Annotate package listings with key information.
- Push Notifications: Get notified whenever a package of your choice updates.
