## What it is
npmx.dev is a fast, modern web application for browsing the npm package registry, offering instant search, source code viewing, version diffs, changelogs, and package comparison. It is a fully open-source alternative frontend to npmjs.com with URL compatibility, strong accessibility, and 39+ locale support.

## Use cases
- browse npm packages with a faster modern UI
- search npm packages with instant results
- view package source code with syntax highlighting
- compare npm package versions and dependencies
- check npm package security vulnerabilities and provenance
- replace npmjs.com URLs with a faster alternative
- manage npm packages and organizations from the browser

## When to choose
- you want a faster, more modern interface than npmjs.com for exploring npm packages
- you need to inspect package source code, diffs, changelogs, or publish timelines
- you want keyboard-friendly, accessible, and localized package browsing
- you want to compare packages on size, dependencies, and repository health
- you want an open-source, self-hostable npm registry frontend

## When to avoid
- you need to install or publish packages - npmx is not a package manager
- you need a registry that hosts packages - npmx does not host anything
- you work outside the JavaScript/npm ecosystem
- you need offline package browsing
