Finally reached 10 million lifetime downloads on posthtml-match-helper 🙌 🎉
For a purely convenience package I'd say that's pretty good - even though it's a 10 year old package - but anyways... 😅
Shout-out to
@cossssmin.bsky.social
for updating the tooling and adding types on the 2.x releases 🤗

I have a 10-ish yr old npm package that seems to have a life of it’s own.
Recently I noticed it trippled in weekly dl’s.
Seems to be caused by a new dependent called eleventy(?) 🤔
The package is https://www.npmjs.com/package/posthtml-match-helper
A helper to expand CSS selectors into PostHTML matcher objects. Latest version: 2.0.3, last published: 4 months ago. Start using posthtml-match-helper in your project by running `npm i posthtml-match-helper`. There are 35 other projects in the npm registry using posthtml-match-helper.
I love vanilla web tech - HTML, CSS, JS, SVG, etc.
I don't love all the crap that has been put in front of it in the name of making it "easier" like Vue, React, Tailwind, Vite, etc. It's just another form of gatekeeping where you are constantly having to learn some new wrapper for native code that is the framework of the week.
If you focus on core web technologies
1) the wrappers will be easier to understand as you know what's going on under the hood
2) you will depend less on them
When life gives you Alex Russell, make a lemon party 🙂
