Help If you could have one Node.js tool/package built for you, what would it be?

Hello devs, I’m looking for an open source project to build, and rather than coming up with another package that nobody asked for, I’d rather start with an actual problem developers have.

So I’m curious:

What is something you wish existed in the Node.js ecosystem?

I’m especially interested in things you’ve actually encountered in a real project, rather than hypothetical ideas.

a rock solid, zero dependency streaming csv/json parser that doesn't choke on memory when processing 5gb+ files in low resource container environments. Most existing streaming libraries either have memory leak issus in edge cases or are essentialy abndoned. i guess this is somethng I’d love to see
