Introducing PackageFlex

PackageFlex is designed with one goal in mind – to simplify the npm package management process. With this Chrome Extension, you can now copy install commands for npm, yarn, pnpm, or bun with just one click! No more toggling between documentation pages or manually adjusting commands.
