The job
Modern JavaScript projects can accumulate a heap of dependencies. Keeping legal and copyright notices current is important, but manually gathering the information is tedious and easy to put off.
What I built
NPM Compliance Helper is a Node.js package that turns dependency data into organised material for a front-end display. I built it as a focused utility rather than hiding the job inside one project.
What came out of it
The result is published as an open-source package with public source code and an NPM listing. It demonstrates the sort of small, practical tooling I like making: a real annoyance, a bounded solution, and evidence someone else can inspect or use.
