Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

What is your go-to UI framework?
For small apps, I may choose a TUI (Terminal User Interface). Curses for Python is very lightweight, but quite low level and difficult to use for anything more than a very simple interface (if your app tries to draw outside of the drawing area, the app crashes, so you have to carefully manage every detail). Textual and asciimatics are both mature TUI frameworks that provide a higher level and more Pythonic way to create TUI's.

How to format output for a stand-alone display screen? Larger numbers, colors, redrawing the screen from the top left instead of printing a new line every time?
If you are looking for something more flexible that just printing to a terminal, take a look at Asciimatics and textual. Both are available from Pypi.

I'm making a notes app and am up to making an 'edit' feature, but have no way of making changes to a file's contents, let alone saving the changes and writing them to the file
Scroll down to the TUI example in the README, just above the documentation link: https://github.com/peterbrittain/asciimatics

ShyySH: a TUI connection manager for SSH
I have made yet another ssh connection manager with TUI, using asciimatics and tinyDB.

Best library for TUI (Text User Interface) and CLI (Command line Interface)
Personally I dig the aesthetics of asciimatics, it's quite handy and cross-platform.

I created a simple CLI tool that helps you code FAST!
I've always wanted to build a CLI tool, and when I realized that you can build one using React with Ink, I converted my Python script into a CLI tool.

Setup Simple Web UI for Node.js App in Seconds
There is a good solution for some of those cases - ink. With ink, I can implement text-based UI with knowledge of React, which is neat but there are still some caveats for my usages:
-
Building Reactive CLIs with Ink - React CLI library
Looks cool, right? Building a similar UI in the terminal without any library would be quite hard, though, thanks to Ink it's almost as easy as building any frontend UI with React.

Terminal-like output library for js?

Synchronous File Reading and Writing in Node.js
I'm writing a CLI with ink. Writing async code is important as to not block the rendering and respond to user input. I have a few loading animations that update every 100ms. Synchronous operations can make the animation hang for >500ms, making the animation choppy.

Launch HN: Resend (YC W23) โ Email API for Developers Using React
You get the comfort of using react components instead of fighting with HTML tables to make your emails look nice. I think it's awesome! It's analog to what ink[0] does with CLI outputs. Sure, you could write fancy CLI outputs in bash, but ink takes the pain out of it and makes it easy.

Is Node.js a good way to implement a CLI app with persistence?
Due to Node's asynchronous behavior, it makes Node great for long-running processes that make a lot of HTTP requests, database calls, and other async ops, like a web server or a REST API. However, if I am making a CLI tool for pretty much personal use only, with very minimal async operations, then blocking the event loop with a synchronous function that will resolve almost immediately will make no difference perceivable to a human brain or have any speed benefits that someone can actually observe (think `fs.readFileSync` or `require('dotenv') of 10 line config file, or a quick embedded db (sqlite) query with only ~100 records. I'm wondering what the best way to implement the database part of the app synchronous. I can read/write to JSON files but it would be tricky because the data is relational, and some complex joins and other data wrangling operations are required (complex to perform in JS but are easy to implement in a SQL statement). It's not important what the operations are, that's not the point of this post. This is mostly a personal project of interest: making this CLI tool completely avoiding any async operations/using no promises. I would like to use node tho, as I said this is just out of interest and I also want to experiment with several CLI libraries such as Ink or Cliffy.
