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.

Overmind, a better foreman or bin/dev for your Procfile
I was confused because there is https://github.com/ddollar/foreman and https://github.com/theforeman/foreman

Ask HN: CLI tool like Docker-compose but fully local?
Are you looking for something like https://github.com/ddollar/foreman?

Spin up your development background processes with ease
Btw, there's a large number of tools that use the Procfile file format, including what appears to be the original one, written in Ruby https://github.com/ddollar/foreman (the readme has links to a partial list of foreman clones)
But I agree that overmind is the best of the bunch

Setup TailwindCSS, postcss and esbuild on Rails 7
We ran our app via bin/dev. You can find the div file inside ./bin/dev folder. It is a ruby wrapper over the process manager forman which manages Procfile-based applications. Rails automatically install foreman gem but it doesn’t bundle it because forman recommends NOT to do 🚫

Note: Alternatively, you can install Foreman on your computer and execute the ./bin/dev command to simultaneously generate the TailwindCSS classes and also run the Rails server in a single terminal.

why doesnt localhost reflect my changes after clearing cache with my Reactjs app
using foreman with the foreman start -f Procfile.dev command to start my app.

Simpler Dev Environments with Procfiles
Obviously, we still need to install a runner to handle this procfile. Meet foreman, or one of it's forks. Foreman is a Ruby script, so for that you'll need to have Ruby installed. There are many forks though. Such as shoreman, which is a dependency free shell script, or node-foreman, which is a javascript fork. I go with node-foreman, for the simple reason that I'm a node guy and I like that I can npm install it to the dependencies of my node projects.

Using Foreman to start services in development
Comes Foreman to the rescue! Foreman is a gem (for Ruby, but it already ported to many others languages) that will load a Procfile and start/stop the services configured by demand.

Managing Javascript the easy way in Rails 7
A bin/dev file - This should be how you run your application in development. It runs (and optionally installs if you don't have it) Foreman, so you can run your server and build Javsacript on the fly

Launching Multiple Processes with a Single Command in Rails
So far, whenever I started the Rails app, I launched these supporting processes in multiple terminal windows. This week, I learned a new way to do this using a single command using the Foreman gem, which has saved me a lot of time.

The best testing setup for frontends, with Playwright and NextJS
For this, we'll use chokidar - more specifically the chokidar-cli package. chokidar is probably the most useful file watching library for the nodejs ecosystem and it will serve us well.

Why Does 'Is-Number' Package Have 59M Weekly Downloads?
tailwindcss -> chokidar -> braces -> fill-range -> to-regex-range -> is-number
is-number was first published 9 years ago, when these kind of micro-packages were in vogue. braces was added as a dependency to chokidar over 6 years ago [1]. And if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I don't think the average JS dev today is going out and pulling in these deps.

How nodemon works?
The watching magic is really in the https://www.npmjs.com/package/chokidar library

Dart 3.1 and a retrospective on functional style programming in Dart
> It’s typical to listen to this stream of events and use chained if-else statements to determine an action based on the type of the events that occur.
You'd think something like directory watching would have a clear set of events that would make nice objects with consistent meanings, but in my experience file watching gets crazy complicated, and can have all sorts of edge cases.
Just take a looked here for all the various edge cases that crop up: https://github.com/paulmillr/chokidar/issues
Then you have linux, windows, macos, and maybe you want to abstract over some underlying implementation like chokidar vs fb/watchman vs webpack/watchpack. Every new OS release could also cause things to change.
So usually its going to be a bunch of if-else statements hacked together to get around edge cases, and have to be revisited later on.
Any attempt to abstract this into objects, just obfuscates things. And OO forces you to name things, when in fact they might be un-nameable. `FileSystemModifyEventExceptWhenXAndYAndSometimesZ`.
The behavior might rely on a series of events together, so the object hierarchy must be re-worked.
OO has this rosy idea that we just have to come up with the perfect hierarchy, but things change in unexpected ways, and everything must have a descriptive noun.

Is there anyway to auto reload the browser page when using express?
Next, you can use a library like chokidar to listen for changes in your source directory. Create a ws server, and whenever a file changes, send a message.

How does nodemon works under the hood?
As another has mentioned, nodemon uses chokidar under the hood for the actual file watching part.

Turbowatch – Extremely fast alternative to Nodemon
At the end of the day, ironically, Nodemon does not even implement file watching functionality. It is a thin wrapper around chokidar (see source code), and the way it is being used is neither efficient (CPU and your battery usage) or performant. So it is not a false argument, just perhaps not the most appealing.

How is React's Hot Module Reloading implemented (at a medium-high level of detail)?
for file watching, it might use something similar to https://www.npmjs.com/package/chokidar

Setup TailwindCSS, postcss and esbuild on Rails 7
First, we need to install chokidar to enable watching and automatically refreshing our files.
What are some alternatives?
God - Ruby process monitor
Filehound - Flexible and fluent interface for searching the file system
overmind - Process manager for Procfile-based applications and tmux
Nodemon.io - Monitor for any changes in your node.js application and automatically restart the server - perfect for development
Procodile - 🐊 Run processes in the background (and foreground) on Mac & Linux from a Procfile (for production and/or development environments)
fs-extra - Node.js: extra methods for the fs object like copy(), remove(), mkdirs()
Eye - Process monitoring tool. Inspired from Bluepill and God.
Watch-fn
Ruby Operators - Webpage to show interesting names of different Ruby operators.
