Hey Product Hunt π
I found 3 quietly deprecated dependencies in my own project β
no warnings, just sitting there for months. That's what pushed
me to actually build this.
PkgDiet scans your Node.js project and flags:
ποΈ Unused dependencies (AST-parsed, not guessed)
π₯ Deprecated/unhealthy packages
π¦ What's bloating your node_modules
π‘ Lighter, modern alternatives
Dry-run safe by default β it never touches your files unless
you explicitly confirm.
Free & open source: npx pkgdiet
Would genuinely love feedback, especially anything it gets
wrong on your projects π
Iβve used PkgDiet on a couple of my projects, and it genuinely helped me identify unnecessary dependencies and understand what was bloating my node_modules. Really useful tool, especially for keeping projects clean and lightweight. Great work!
