Upcoming Enhancements:
Here’s what’s next on our roadmap:

  • Replace actions with intuitive icons and tooltips.
  • Add recursion exclusion lists.
  • Explore VS Code profile integrations (depending on API capabilities).
  • Implement Git-based backup for changes.
  • Enhance the app detail page with:
    • CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) information.
    • Nested search functionality for better dependency management.
    • Improved responsiveness, transitioning to card-based views for better usability.
  • Generate complete SBOMs for your projects.
  • Enable subdependency navigation within the license pane.
  • Identify and remove unused packages automatically.

Stay tuned as we continue to enhance LibTracker, making dependency management more efficient and secure for developers. Your feedback is always welcome!
