Overlay
A browser extension that aggregates security and quality data to help developers evaluate open source packages on npm, PyPI, and Go registries.
What is Overlay?
Overlay is a browser extension that aggregates security, quality, and maintenance data from multiple advisory services to help developers evaluate open source packages. It displays this information directly on package pages of registries like npm, PyPI, and Go, solving the problem of fragmented and time-consuming package research.
Developers and software engineers who regularly select open source dependencies and need to assess their security, popularity, and maintenance status efficiently.
Developers choose Overlay because it centralizes critical package evaluation metrics into a single, seamless browser interface, saving time and reducing risk by providing consolidated insights from trusted sources like Snyk and Socket.
