    love it. You don't realize how much you need it until you have to reinstall your entire OS because you installed a hacked dependency before it is taken down

    Very cool integration with socket.dev that helps me get insight into third party NPM packages on the NPM website making it easy and convenient to see at a glance any potential security vulnerabilities a package may have. Great idea! Works well!
