I made a new thing! like the semver package, but for PURLs: npmjs.com/package/purl `npx purl $specifier` or `npx purl $purl` will validate, normalize, and provide parse info. add `--check` & it'll contact the relevant registry & verify the package and version exist.

Today, we’re sharing an important update about the next chapter of HeroDevs. At the end of 2025, our founder and CEO, Aaron Frost, stepped back from his day-to-day role and into a new chapter focused on family, health, and personal priorities. Beginning January 1, 2026, Aaron Mitchell (“Mitch”) has transitioned into the role of CEO. ‍ Frosty’s leadership shaped HeroDevs into what it is today – a company rooted in service, integrity, craftsmanship, and community. We’re grateful for his example, his heart, and his enduring impact on the people at HeroDevs. “This was entirely my decision. After many years of building, leading the team, and working across ecosystems with thousands of developers and organizations, I feel it’s the right time for me to create more space for my family and my personal health," Frost said. "HeroDevs is one of the things I’m most proud of in my life. We’ve built something meaningful; not just a product, but a mission, a team, and a community that cares deeply about open source," he added. "I’m not disappearing. I’ll continue supporting HeroDevs as an advisor and board member, and I will always cheer on the team as they continue this journey.” Looking ahead, Aaron Mitchell steps into the CEO role after years of leading HeroDevs alongside Frosty. His appointment reflects continuity in leadership and a steady hand as the company continues to grow, support customers, and contribute to the open-source ecosystem. “HeroDevs has always been a shared effort – a team of people who care deeply about maintainers, customers, and the long-term health of open-source software. The values we built together: service, craftsmanship, community, empathy, and integrity, will continue guiding every decision we make," Mitch said. "I’m honored to step into this role, and my goal is simple: to protect what makes this company special while helping us grow in ways that serve our customers and communities even better.” As we move into 2026, we do so with deep gratitude for where we’ve come from and great confidence in where we’re going. Frosty will remain involved as an advisor and board member, offering insight and support whenever needed. And the entire HeroDevs team — the people who ship the code, support the customers, build the relationships, write the content, and show up in communities every day — will continue doing what they do best. In 2026, we’ll announce new partnerships, products, and tools and resources for the open source community. Our best days are still in front of us. Thank you to every customer, partner, maintainer, technologist, and community member who has been part of this journey so far. We’re excited for the chapter ahead. - The HeroDevs Team #herodevs #cybersecurity #opensource

👀 3 new @Angular CVEs (after years of silence) this quarter shows the ecosystem is actively being scrutinized and protected. 👏 Huge props to the @Angular team & security researchers. 🛡️ Silence isn't safety. Visibility is. ✨ herodevs.com/blog-posts/whe…
