As a novice developer, I definitely get where you're coming from. I remember I was doing authentication in a personal project and used passport.js for it. I was pretty surprised when I saw it was maintained by 1 guy. In fact, I had some pretty unique errors dealing with it due to what version of node was installed on my computer, which caused an annoying bug that required me to do a lot of searching through SO (no, chatgpt did not tell me the cause of this error, lol). It got me thinking though... how many NPM packages are people using that are not maintained, or will suffer from maintenance issues or a lack of compatibility in the future?
