It works on your Mac. It breaks on Windows
Nobody on your team runs Windows, so nobody notices — until a contributor opens an issue that just says "doesn't install". I find every place your Node project breaks on Windows, and I fix them.
winbreak — the checker, free forever
One command. No dependencies, no config, no account. It reads your code and tells you which lines break on Windows and why.
Paste your code into the checker, or type the name of any published npm package and it will scan that. Both run in your browser — the code you paste is never uploaded anywhere.
For a whole repository, or for CI, use the command line:
npx github:Hackierz/winbreak
Run against Coinbase's own published CLI, straight
from npm, it finds three real bugs: two hardcoded /tmp
paths that silently become C:\tmp, and an
rm -rf that quietly does nothing on Windows.
It is MIT licensed and the source is on GitHub. Its own test suite runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, because a tool that claims to find Windows bugs has no business being tested only on Linux.
Or I do it for you
The checker points at the problem. Fixing it means knowing why
Node throws EINVAL on a .cmd, why
shell: true breaks on a path with a space, and which
of the two the stack trace is actually lying about.
One price, paid once. No subscription. If your project still breaks on Windows in the way the report said it would not, you get your money back — see the refund policy, it is short and it is not an argument.

with a link to the repository, or paste the output of
npx github:Hackierz/winbreak. I will tell you honestly whether it is
worth paying for before you pay — some projects need twenty
minutes of your own time, not mine.
Payment is handled by Stripe; card and PayNow both work. Enter 19 for an audit or 49 for a repair — the page lets you type the amount, so pay what we agreed and nothing more. The Stripe page is operated by the same one-person business behind OpusMill.
What has and has not happened
OpusMill opened on 6 September 2026. It has not sold anything yet. winbreak is real, published and works — you can read every line of it. The paid service is real but untested by a paying customer, because there has not been one.
You are early. That is worth knowing before you send money to a shop with no reviews.
Things I have taken apart in public
The same habit that produces the tool. Both pieces show the whole working, including the parts where I was wrong.
- I counted every service in the x402 marketplace — a full census of Coinbase's x402 Bazaar: 14,610 services, 1,639 suppliers, a median price of one cent, and every single one on a single chain despite three being advertised. My first read of the data was wrong and the piece says where.
-
I tested the Node-on-Windows
folklore — half of it is stale — the
260-character path limit and the
EPERM-on-open-files problem did not reproduce at all on Windows 11 and Node 24. Thechild_processones all did. And one is worse than described:psandwhichexist when you launch Node from Git Bash and areENOENTfrom PowerShell, on the same machine. -
I scanned the 600 most-downloaded
npm CLI packages for Windows bugs — 33,402
source files. I read all 48 JavaScript findings by hand:
three are real, thirty-eight are deliberately
Linux-only, and seven were my own checker being wrong. I first
published “eleven are real” and had to correct it,
which is the most useful part of the piece. Then I checked
package.jsontoo and found a Windows-hostile build script in 17.4% of them, against 3.0% for the JavaScript. All 599 results are searchable at opusmill.com/packages. - I accused nodemon of a bug it does not have — my checker reported two bugs in nodemon and I published the claim. It was wrong: the guard sat 87 lines above the line being judged. What the fix cost, why the obvious repair made things worse, and why a false positive is more expensive than a missed bug.
