Publish packages to JSR

Initial checklist

• I read the support docs
• I read the contributing guide
• I agree to follow the code of conduct
• I searched issues and couldn’t find anything (or linked relevant results below)

Problem

Bro, hope to be able to publish tools like the remark (remark-parse etc.) to the JSR repositry.

Solution

Using GitHub Action: https://jsr.io/docs/publishing-packages#publishing-from-github-actions

Alternatives

https://jsr.io/docs/publishing-packages

Hi, just for context a decision to publish to an additional registry would likely be a decision for the entire unified ecosystem (unified, remark, rehype, retext, redot, mdx, micromark, syntax tree, vfile) and that wouldn't be a light decision. Probably requiring a formal RFC process.

I haven't looked to deep into JSR and to make an informed decision we would have to outline the changes required to do so and whether that's worth it in 400+ separate repositories. Luckily, we have our GitHub tooling which simplifies adding the same config files to all repositories. But the question is whether that would be enough.

Yeah, this is a indeed huge work. I suggest starting the packages that have no dependencies. Additionally, the packages related to remark are entirely ESM, which is very beneficial for migration.

As mentioned I doubt a big decision will be made in this issue. It will be more likely to gain traction if you submit a RFC and make a compelling case.

Yep, @Murderlon is right, it’s a big decision that affects 100s of projects. Closing here.

JSR is pretty interesting btw. The main problem I foresee is that we do use some Node APIs that don’t have JS alternatives such as fs, we’d need to test in Deno too. And, it requires changes to types due to its “slow types” thing.
