In the previous versions, every release had a static list for each supported registry. This had two important side effects. First, the list was huge:

  • NPM 140006 entries
  • Bower 30824 entries
  • Composer 63318 entries

and by that the initial page load for github.com delayed by ~250ms #38. Second, the list was not in sync with the registry and by that out of date all the time.

Today, I'm very happy to announce the live-resolver API. This is a new service which resolves the requested packages in real time. This feature requires a new permission https://githublinker.herokuapp.com/ to communicate with the API. With this new service in place, support for other languages like Python, Ruby, Go .. will come within the next major release. But this will take some time, because I want to rewrite the core. The idea is to build a "module" system so everyone can easily contribute to this project.

If you want help me, please contact me.

Happy coding
