Which of your dependencies
are already ghosts?
Revenant predicts which open-source projects are about to die, holds a dignified ofrenda for the ones that already did, and helps you resurrect your code with a living successor.
From the Cementerio
View all 180 packages →“A foundational pillar of the Node.js ecosystem that carried the weight of the web for over a decade. Its legacy remains woven into the fabric of countless modern applications.”
“A humble utility that served the ecosystem with distinction for many years. Its purpose has been gracefully integrated into the language itself.”
“A cornerstone of the early modern web, node-sass empowered countless developers to bring style to their applications. Its legacy lives on in the tools that succeeded it.”
How it works
1. Haunting Report
Paste a manifest or repo URL. Every dependency gets a calibrated ghost score — Alive, Fading, Haunted, or Departed — worst offenders first.
2. Tombstones & Ofrendas
Each quiet project receives a dignified memorial: cited cause of death, last words, contributors remembered as candles, and a grounded seance.
3. Resurrection
Ranked living successors, a step-by-step migration plan, a manifest diff, and — only after explicit human approval — a pull request.

A tool that detects abandonment should not itself depend on a closed model that can be deprecated out from under it. Read the science or inspect live receipts.
