Free and open source, npflared is a serveless private npm registry that you can self-host in order to distribute private packages for you and your team

Was a bit lost by the serveless self-host part:
> Npflared is based on cloudflare services (worker, d1 and r2)

It's actually not hard to run Worker apps locally.

What is "pirate" about this?
A lot of big companies self-host npm to avoid chain of supply attacks.

NPM already has issues with malicious packages in official repos, being able to run your own repos only makes it worse.

Awesome project!
What benefits do you see for your approach over verdaccio or built in package repositories in the famous code hosting sites?
I am mostly because “How does this project compare to X” pages are basically indicators of quality and it’d be great if this project had one (I can basically imagine when I’d use this over run-forever verdaccio or locked-in gh packages)!
