Show HN: Dependicus, a dashboard for your monorepo's dependencies
descriptinc.github.ioLate last year, I was digging into some dependency-related tech debt, and struggling with how long it takes to run pnpm's introspection commands like 'pnpm why' in a medium-size monorepo. So I started working on a simple static site generator that would let me view the output of these expensive commands all at once, to make problems clearly visible instead of requiring deep exploration one at a time.
Once I had that working, I realized I had enough data to add ticket tracking. It uses the data it gathers from the package manager to keep Linear or GitHub issues updated. And by auto-assigning those issues to coding agents, I get a Dependabot-but-better experience: agents keep up with API updates in addition to just bumping versions, and group related updates automatically.
It's still early days, but it's working really well for us and I think people will find value in it, so I'm sharing here! Really helpful, I'll give it a try!
