Was chatting with a co-worker about .env file loading for local dev. Thanks to @e18e.dev and @npmx.dev, turns out it's not necessary to bring in a package for it.

The community has really rallied around @npmx.dev. I happened to have built outputs from _long ago_ when I first pulled the repo 4 days ago. The difference is subtle but also hiding massive improvements and efforts by all involved.

Layout has shifted to a full length sidebar with collapsible sections next to the header detailign the package with the readme below it.

Also visible are new features like comparing packages and auto generated documentation for the package.

Uhoh, we broke Zed's auto-updater. 🫣 If you're on v0.203.x or v0.204.x, you'll need to manually check for updates via the Command Palette→ "auto update: check" We've already shipped the fix - just need you to unbox the latest, shiniest version of Zed manually this time.
