+## Node Package Libraries (NPM)
+
+ACAP, a web application built with Firebase, Express, React/Next.js, and Node.js, relies on open-source development libraries from the **Node Package Manager (NPM)** for its **client** and **server** applications.
+
+Since ACAP's initial development in 2022, many of these libraries may have become outdated as newer versions are released.
+
+Developers maintaining ACAP are encouraged to <u>monitor and update these dependencies as needed</u> to benefit from performance improvements, security patches, and new features, possibly requiring using <u>newer Node versions</u>.
