While attempting to reduce the number of dependencies my project relied on, I came across some useful Node packages that helped trim the fat from the node_modules: - depcheck: Outputs all the usages of each package listed in package json. This is useful for determining if any packages are unused - npm prune: Once you've found packages that are unused, this Node command will remove any packages removed from the package.json - npm ddp: Flatten dependency tree and removes redundant packages
