Interesting project, would be great if this supported more than just JS projects, I'd be very interested to see some of the dependencies that my current business relies upon.

It would be nice if you could paste package-lock file for private repos.

Can we add javascript to the title? It is a bit misleading without it.

They're working on that, contributions for C++ and Ruby have apparently already been received: https://medium.com/open-collective/open-collective-august-20...

This is a really good idea! I assume support for more languages / package managers is coming?

Based on the fact that you can also upload composer.json files, I assume it also supports PHP.

Yup, tested it out on a few python projects I have/use and it has 0 dependencies listed which is very, very wrong.
