some suggestions

[jimmywarting]

• Replace axios \w fetch
• use native web crypto instead of node crypto
• use explicit path with extensions
• don't depend so much on NodeJS stuff, would like to one day be able to use it in Deno or Bun.js. and heck even in browsers too. start by replacing Buffer with Uint8Array
• try to switch to ESM-only
• replace uuid dependency with crypto.randomUUID()
• remove legacy stuff like forge
