It sounds like a great space for developers to discuss everything related to npm! The CLI, documentation, and registry are core parts of the JavaScript ecosystem, so having a dedicated place for feedback and discussion can be really helpful.

The inclusion of product feedback requests is a plus—it gives users a way to directly influence npm's development. However, the restrictions on self-promotion and off-topic discussions make sense to keep things focused.

One thing that could be interesting is how npm plans to engage with user feedback. Will the npm team be active in responding to issues, or is this more of a community-driven space? Also, how does it compare to discussions happening on GitHub Issues or other forums like Stack Overflow?

Have you participated in discussions there yet? I'd love to hear what kind of feedback people are sharing!

Thanks for putting these guidelines together! 📝
It’s really helpful to have clear do’s ✅ and don’ts ❌ so discussions stay focused and productive. I like that the category is open to technical questions, product feedback, and deeper conversations about npm tooling — it encourages more collaborative problem-solving.

Also appreciate the clarity on what’s not allowed, especially around self-promotion and off-topic posts, since it keeps the space signal-heavy and spam-free.

Looking forward to contributing useful feedback and learning from others here! 🚀
