Late last year, I was digging into some dependency-related tech debt, and struggling with how long it takes to run pnpm's introspection commands like 'pnpm why' in a medium-size monorepo. So I started working on a simple static site generator that would let me view the output of these expensive commands all at once, to make problems clearly visible instead of requiring deep exploration one at a time.Once I had that working, I realized I had enough data to add ticket tracking. It uses the data it gathers from the package manager to keep Linear or GitHub issues updated. And by auto-assigning those issues to coding agents, I get a Dependabot-but-better experience: agents keep up with API updates in addition to just bumping versions, and group related updates automatically.It's still early days, but it's working really well for us and I think people will find value in it, so I'm sharing here!

Could you build this?
Yes Parsing local lockfiles (pnpm, npm, Cargo), querying registry APIs, and generating static HTML dashboards and Linear/GitHub tickets is a standard data processing and CLI scripting task.
