🕵️‍♂️ Feluda | Open-source CLI tool for auditing dependencies & licenses in your projects. 📜 Built for devs by devs.

Why Feluda?

Let's paint a picture. You're working on an exciting project. Maybe the next big app, a shiny new devtool, or just a side project to scratch that creative itch. Naturally, you add some dependencies to save time, right? Everyone does. Why reinvent the wheel?

But here's the kicker: those dependencies come with licenses, and those licenses can have hidden clauses. Some are super chill and say, "Hey, do whatever you want." Others, though, are like, "No commercial use!" or "If you use me, your whole project needs to go open source!" That can become a massive headache if you've different plans. Specially, if you find out too late, via a mail in your hands or legal notice.

This is exactly why we made Feluda. Think of it as your trusted detective, digging through your project's dependency list to uncover what each license allows and flags anything restrictive. So, you won't have to spend hours Googling or decoding legal jargon. Instead, Feluda gives you the answers upfront.

And it's not just about staying legal. It's about knowing your tools. Modern projects are complex. A single library might depend on ten others, and those ten might pull in fifty more. Before you know it, you're using hundreds of packages, and you have no idea where they're coming from or what they allow. Feluda simplifies that. It automates the whole process and hands you a neat, easy-to-read report.

The best part? It's extremely simple to use. You just run it from the command line, and it tells you everything you need to know. Imagine running it on your Node.js project, and it says, "All dependencies are good to go!" Or maybe it finds a Go library with a tricky license and goes, "Heads up! This one might be a problem for commercial use." Now, you can fix the issue early instead of scrambling to rewrite half your project later.

Feluda is open source, too. That means anyone can contribute, improve it, or adapt it for other use cases. It's a community-driven effort, and if you love open-source tools, you'll feel right at home.

At the end of the day, Feluda is all about knowing you're building something awesome without worrying about license drama sneaking up on you. So go ahead, let Feluda do the detective work while you focus on creating and sipping onto your delicious cold brew.
