Ask HN: Explore NPM Packages by Similarity?
2 points by canadaduane on Feb 14, 2023 | hide | past | favorite
I'm curious if there exists a way to explore npm packages by semantic clustering or similarity. For example:

- If I know `npm-run-all` is close to what I want but is no longer maintained, are there adjacent projects I don't know about that would serve my need?

- For this particular example, here are some example packages that such a clustering might show as adjacent: yarpm, @xarc/run, concurrently

I'm imagining something similar to the map of reddit* but with or without the geographic metaphor.
