NPM Package Update Checker

Keep your stack secure and modern. This workflow runs weekly, downloads the package.json from your main branch, and iterates through the dependencies. It queries the NPM registry for each, and if a newer version is available, it sends a report to Slack or creates a GitHub issue.
