Browserify vs Entropic: What are the differences?
Developers describe Browserify as "Browser-side require() the node.js way". Browserify lets you require('modules') in the browser by bundling up all of your dependencies. On the other hand, Entropic is detailed as "A federated package registry for anything". It is a new package registry with a new CLI, designed to be easy to stand up inside your network. It features an entirely new file-centric API and a content-addressable storage system that attempts to minimize the amount of data you must retrieve over a network. This file-centric approach also applies to the publication API.
Browserify and Entropic belong to "Front End Package Manager" category of the tech stack.
Browserify and Entropic are both open source tools. Browserify with 12.8K GitHub stars and 1.12K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Entropic with 4.15K GitHub stars and 149 GitHub forks.
