It’s an interesting thought, but depends on people installing Node and using command-line tools. Ultimately, many developers will still want a downloadable ZIP file.

I’m impressed. Unless the jQuery team can produce a system as nice as unheap.com, perhaps they should give up now and adopt it as the “official” repository?

+1 for adoption.
Just checked it out. I thought I’d give it a quick 5 or 10 minutes. I ended up browsing Unheap for more like an hour though. And thanks I was not aware of Unheap.

Personally, I’d prefer that people adopt/extend npm as a platform for all types of JS modules (even if not targetting NodeJS specifically). One roof for all things JS.

It sure looks better, but it’s still just a fancy link index.
I’ve already found the first dead link :(

I’d love an uniform platform that has natively supports functionality like jsbin.
This way previews are more stable, easier to play with and with the more uniform standard you can preview more efficient.

I sure haven’t. I love Unheap.com! Awesome design on all the graphics for each plugin too.
