Simplifying your code: replacing heavy packages with lightweight solutions

Have you ever come across a package that seemed overkill for what you really needed? What if you could simplify your project with just a few lines of code, without the overhead of unnecessary dependencies?

That's the idea behind Replace That Package — a project to find and share simpler alternatives to popular packages in different languages.

  • Reduce project complexity
  • Avoid unnecessary dependencies
  • Make your code easier to understand and maintain

If you know of a package that could be replaced by a simpler solution, contribute to the project or share your ideas!

Check it out and join the effort: Replace That Package

P.S.: Just don't mention the npm "is-thirteen" 😳
