10 months in at www.summation.com. Working on our AI Analyst, but you know I always bet on great DX & tooling. So it's dang cool we're building AX, in the open. It's like pair programming with a group of models in a shared session. Supports Claude, Codex, Grok, OpenCode & Pi. Try it out! useax.dev

@socket.dev Any chance someone could look into the low "Supply Chain Security" score of 79 for unbash (socket.dev/npm/package/...)? Perhaps it's based on a zero download count. Might be a wider issue. For instance, lodash (socket.dev/npm/package/...) score: 81. Should be over 99 in both cases.

Been leaning on Knip for JS/TS hygiene: unused exports, dead files, orphaned deps ESLint won't catch. Wired it into CI with the github-actions reporter so it annotates PRs directly, not a log dump. ts-prune's in maintenance mode now, Knip's the safer pick. #buildinpublic #webdev #indiehackers
