OpenSource Framework

Maintained forks of abandoned npm packages

About

OpenSource Framework is a monorepo dedicated to maintaining forks of abandoned npm packages. We ensure these valuable tools continue to receive security updates, bug fixes, and compatibility improvements.

Why OpenSource Framework?

Many npm packages become abandoned over time, leaving projects vulnerable to security risks and framework obsolescence. OpenSource Framework provides a "Safe Haven" for critical utilities with a focus on:

• Legacy Preservation: We maintain "stable-forever" forks of popular versions (like NextAuth v3) that official maintainers have abandoned, ensuring legacy apps don't break as frameworks like Next.js evolve.
• Modern Standards: Every fork is migrated to modern tooling (tsup, vitest, ESM) and strictly tested against the latest Next.js versions (including Next.js 16/17 compatibility).
• Unified Ecosystem: A single namespace (@opensourceframework) for a collection of drop-in replacements, reducing dependency fragmentation and audit fatigue.
• Simplicity over Complexity: While other forks (like Serwist) shift philosophies, we prioritize maintaining the original, simple APIs that developers already know and love.

Quick Start
