My only pain point, that I solved with a few lines of elisp, was to go to npmjs, to find the repo link for my dependencies. What's in `node_modules` may be compiled to an inscrutable blob and it's rare to find good library docs.

Life-changing: ghub.io/<package>

No idea where I found this but I’ve been using for many, many years.

How's it life changing though? You have to know the package name already to do that. And if you're sitting on npmjs looking at the package already, then you're one click away from Github.

Furthermore... I don't host my packages on Github :-) Don't think that even works for mine.

When you see an unknown package in a package.json, you can go straight to the source - no search or visiting npm.com
