This is very witty 😂

It also got me to look at openbase and I noticed a few issues. I publish the @rschedule/core package and there appear to be some bugs with the listing. E.g. it says "type definitions not found" but the @rschedule/core package root contains an index.d.ts file (I'm guessing you only search for a "typings" entry in the package.json file but that's not the only valid way to include typings in an npm package). The maintenance page indicates that the average time between major versions is 2 months, yet there has only been two major version published and they were several years apart. Etc.

Separately, I'll mention that one feature I've wanted for a while is the ability to perform an "advanced search" for NPM packages. E.g. "find all packages which depend on ("webpack" or "rollup") and which are tagged "typescript" and "plugin" and ("date" or "schedule") and which have the "MIT license" and which receive at least 1000 downloads a month and which has a bundle size less than 2kb gzipped, etc. A feature like this seems potentially within openbase's scope and could help draw people to the website.
