I am the maintainer of npm-check-updates, a widely used tool in the npm ecosystem with over 350,000 weekly downloads. I have been responding to bug reports and pull requests, fixing critical issues, and adding features in my personal time for over ten years.

npm-check-updates does not require significant funding to stay maintained, but if you use it regularly, consider a small monthly contribution. It goes a long way to show appreciation for the hundreds of hours I have put into the project.
