There are some handy tools for identifying and addressing problematic bundles. One of them, Bundlephobia, gives insights into how much an NPM package contributes to bundle size, helping avoid too large collections of files. Import Cost, a VSCode Extension, calculates the 'cost' of imported packages, helping to make informed decisions. As part of our optimization strategy, we've swapped out hefty JS libraries, such... - Source: dev.to / 18 days ago

So, before adding a dependency to your projects, ask yourself if you truly need it and check how much a package weighs. If you would like to go through cleaning up process, I wrote an article on optimizing Next.js bundle size on my private blog. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

🔴 https://bundlephobia.com/ - estimate a footprint, basically how many Kb will be added to your bundle when you add this dependency to your project. Those may differ a lot, try comparing say - dayjs vs momentjs ;. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago

I have phobia of dependencies and package sizes, so tiptap is 62KB and remirror is 150KB. Not much difference, since difference is no in MB's. Source: 10 months ago

External packages increase your app bundle size (you can calculate this using BundlePhobia), so adding a third-party package for every development requirement isn’t always a good choice. Also, third-party packages may not completely fulfill your design requirements and may bring features that you don’t even use. Writing your own stepper component is also an option by including only the required features. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

For example a site that I liked called The Outline stopped publishing content in 2020 and they leave the site online at least for now https://theoutline.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

The Verge did a whole website redesign in an attempt to stay relevant, having not learned the lessons from the failures of Joshua Topolsky's The Outline, which imploded due in part to its horrific design. Source: over 1 year ago

Reminds me of some the design decisions made on https://theoutline.com/. Same school of thought, design over functionality. Source: almost 2 years ago

It basically reeks of whatever Joshua Topolsky was involved with (https://theoutline.com). I've always thought a large reason why it failed was the messy web design, looks like The Verge wants to go that way too. Source: almost 2 years ago

Since you asked, I thought The Outline had a unique and compelling UI/UX but sadly it’s parent company shit it down so it’s been dormant for 2 years: https://theoutline.com. Source: about 2 years ago
