Why it is worth attention

It fills a gap left by Dependabot by flagging dependencies that will never receive new versions, using evidence-based criteria rather than speculation, and provides a public, community-contributed dataset of verified successors.

Who it is for

  • JavaScript and Node.js developers
  • Python developers
  • CI/CD pipeline maintainers
  • Open-source maintainers looking to deprecate packages

Use cases

  • Scanning a project's dependencies to identify abandoned packages
  • Checking the status of a single package across ecosystems
  • Integrating into CI to fail builds on abandoned dependencies
  • Managing known dead dependencies via an ignore list

Strengths

  • Evidence-based verdicts using official deprecation flags, archive status, and inactivity thresholds
  • Supports multiple lockfile formats: npm, pnpm, Yarn, PyPI, uv, and Poetry
  • Public, reviewable successor dataset that accepts community contributions
  • Conservative design that avoids false positives and provides 'insufficient-data' when uncertain

Considerations

  • Currently only supports npm and PyPI; Go and Rust ecosystems are planned but not yet implemented
  • Requires a GitHub token for larger scans due to unauthenticated API rate limits of 60 requests per hour
  • Pipfile.lock is detected but not parsed; the `check` command bypasses the ignore list
