Thank you for this, it was the one thing that I was going to miss moving from npm to jspm.

Under jspm there are two version checking packages, npm-check and npm-check-update. The former is the better tool, it has a very nice interface:

https://github.com/dylang/npm-check

Perhaps you can have a look and see what you might incorporate with this tool.

Again, great job, you make working with the various package manager so much nicer!

I'm a bit busy right now but I will give it a try asap. What is that you really like in the npm-check UI? Colors? Ordering? (by semver update rather than alphabetical).

Something I don't like about npm-check is that it will always display the latest update only. For example, if you have a package with range ^1.0.0 and locally installed 1.0.0 but both 1.5.0 and 2.0.0 are now released on NPM, npm-check will only tell you that there is a major update to 2.0.0. I want to have a way to tell the user that (s)he has 2 kind of possible updates (minor and major). That's why I couldn't come with a UI as simple as npm-check so far...
