Tell HN: Staged NPM publishing is awful
I tried out npm's new staged publishing mechanism recently. It's a terrible dev experience. (https://ift.tt/8QLJmie) I support the concept in general (for security purposes), but the dev approving staged publishes must enter their passkey separately for every individual staged package, even if they're all staged and approved at the same time. Anyone publishing a mono-repo of packages will go crazy (I already am). To prevent my own going crazy, I've had to revert back to non-staged publishing. 0 comments on Hacker News.
