Hi, HN!

I started creating this tool for discovering similar NPM packages based on dependencies listed in a package.json.

Mainly useful when resurrecting that 3-year-old project, suggesting alternatives that are popular nowadays.

I'm still fine tuning the package matching, but I wanted to share it and know what think!

Something that could be improve? Anything that needs to change or is missing in the page? I appreciate any feedback.

If you could directly fetch the list of dependencies from a npm module name, it would make it a lot easier to use for a lot of people :)

It seems to have a lot of useful suggestions for alternatives, so thanks for creating and sharing it!

Thank you! That's a great idea!
