Build a business card CLI tool
There are many tools available to help with styling your command line output. For my business card, I used a combination of boxen to draw the box around the content, and chalk to power the font styles and colours. I'll leave this part up to you, but you can view the code on GitHub to see how I did it. Be aware that if you want to use ES6 imports in Node, you'll need to update your index.js file extension to .mjs, and edit the package.json "bin" section accordingly.

GitHub - larswaechter/voici.js: A Node.js library for pretty printing your data on the terminal
Last time I was working on a similar cli-based project, I used columnify for tabular output - small, super configurable, handle unicode strings and more. You have in yours that handy highlight tools (which I need to, um, highlight), but similar things could be achieved with columnify's transform functions - and in the end it's 20 times lighter than voici.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing boxen and columnify you can also consider the following projects:
chalk - 🖍 Terminal string styling done right
cli-table - Pretty unicode tables for the CLI with Node.JS
Inquirer.js - A collection of common interactive command line user interfaces.
cli-columns - Columnated lists for the CLI. Unicode and ANSI safe.
cross-env
KeyboardJS - A JavaScript library for binding keyboard combos without the pain of key codes and key combo conflicts.
sparkly - Generate sparklines ▁▂▃▅▂▇
string-width - Get the visual width of a string - the number of columns required to display it
