Missing native alternatives #40

I imagine a developer looking for some of the categories, like Test Frameworks, and using the information there to make a decision, with all the libraries listed there. But what is missing is the native alternatives, in the case of Test Frameworks, the native alternative is test runner module is stable since v20.0.0.

If there was a way to inform the developer that there is a native alternative, it would be great.

A challenge I see is that there is no way to measure the popularity of the native alternative. Maybe just a reminder that there is a native alternative would be enough.

Another category that will fit this are:

  • Configuration Management, where the native alternative is comming with native .env support.
  • Date & Time, if Temporal is accepted, it will be the native alternative.

@dalssoft You make a good point for built-in solutions! I thought about that as well. Need to brainstorm how to show them on the page since they're not comparable with other libraries like you say. Perhaps a (noticeable) paragraph mentioning the native solution and linking to it.

Thanks for mentioning other categories with native solutions. I didn't know about Temporal!

I'm glad being able to help.

One more argument is that, due to sec issues, a good practice is to reduce the number of dependencies and use native modules, so we should incentivise that.

btw, congrats for this amazing tools!
