I'm Shipping 5 npm Packages to 10,000 Downloads
I'm Shipping 5 npm Packages to 10,000 Downloads This is the first post in a series. The goal is simple: get my five npm packages to 10,000 combined downloads before the end of the year. I'm going to write about every step — what I ship, what works, what doesn't, and the real numbers. No growth hacks. No threads about "how I made $10k in a month." Just shipping, twice a day, and writing down what…
This is the first installment in a series focused on publishing five npm packages and achieving 10,000 total downloads by year-end. The writer is documenting every step of the process, including what is being shipped, what works and what doesn't, and the real numbers behind the growth. The goal is to provide a transparent account of the journey, with no reliance on growth hacks or misleading claims of financial success.
As of November 11, the five packages currently have a combined 4,153 downloads. The packages include plumber-linter, environmental-peek, hexlens, react-dismiss, and @parasraju/plumber-mcp. The writer plans to update the existing five packages, not create new ones. Shipping will occur twice daily, at 11am and 9pm, with each release comprising a feature, README update, and improved keywords.
The writer believes that this consistent release schedule will lead to growth. Each post in the series will focus on a specific shipping event or lesson learned, detailing the changes made, the rationale behind them, and the impact on download numbers. The writer encourages readers who use or have used the five packages to try the latest versions and provide feedback on any missed features.
By following this structured approach, the writer aims to make the project more successful and gather valuable insights from the community.
