Before installing new software, I usually visit its GitHub page or Wikipedia entry first and click through to the official site from there. I just don't trust the 'official' sites that pop up in Google search results. How many of you do the same?

Show HN: Rebrain.gg – Doom learn, don't doom scroll 5 months ago

Does this form based interaction offer any specific advantages over chatting directly with ChatGPT or Claude? Essentially the site is still powered by their APIs and it is just the interface that is different.

NPMX – a fast, modern browser for the NPM registry 5 months ago

I don't think npmx has better UI/UX than npmjs.com. It could even be said to be worse. The npmx page doesn't have any other colors, it's all gray, and the page has too many elements that are too cluttered. You can compare these two pages:

https://npmx.dev/package/vue

https://www.npmjs.com/package/vue

Decide for yourself which UX is better.
