npm Live Package Update Stream Screensaver
The npm Live Package Update Stream screensaver shows real package updates landing on the npm registry right now. It is free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the npm Live Package Update Stream screensaver works
The saver reads real recent changes from npm's own replication _changes feed.
Each entry shows a real package name as it's updated or published.
The pipeline saves its position so each run picks up new real updates since the last one.
No key is required for this key-less public endpoint.
A worked example
A real package name updated moments earlier scrolls past exactly as it landed in npm's real replication log.
