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.

Mastering Node.js
Vorpal.js is a framework for building mature, immersive command-line applications.
-
Use GNU Emacs
I occasionally try that as well and it sometimes helps but not for things like node apps that use https://vorpal.js.org REPLs. They just aren't usable in shell-mode.

google/zx: write shell scripts in JavaScript
Got it, so more about the general idea of using Node to interact with a shell. Fair points but I'm not sure that's where zx falls. I'm looking at it in relation to projects like commander, oclif, and vorpal— frameworks for authoring and packaging local-use CLI tools written in JS, typically aimed at people who know JS and work in a terminal but don't know shell scripting. Those have the overhead of learning a framework, and don't do anything to help you work with the shell. zx seems to come from the other direction: instead of an esoteric framework, shell concepts and shell commands in a Node script.
-
Ask a question before a git commit when committing to a certain folder
Assuming the project uses node, and admittedly it's a lil overkill, but you could use vorpal.
-
Use command from terminal?
Are you wanting to run your nodejs app, and then control it within the same terminal it is running in? If so, take a look at vorpal

Best Javascript libraries for TUI development?
I found blessed but it seems like it was last updated 8 years ago. So what are my options?
-
good high-level ncurses library
So far I found this library github.com/chjj/blessed which is very powerful, I need to render animated charts and other complex objects and for my purpose it is doing well.

Ink: React for interactive command-line apps
Alas https://github.com/chjj/blessed/issues/418#issuecomment-1533...
I considered blessed for a recent project, but ended up just simplifying the approach & making do with Inquirer + Meow instead due to the maintenance status. Haven't found anything else equivalent to blessed, other than Ink.

My 2022 side project: @steggy/tty. Custom widgets and utilities for building terminal apps on top of NestJS. Looking for testers / feedback
Inquirer is still probably the library that is most similar, if you are looking for comparisons to existing tools. My goal was to create a set of tools that uses the terminal window for a single operation at a time. The UI providing as much contextual information as possible to the user to know what actions they can perform, and any relevant information. A bit like a "choose your adventure" via terminal app sort of thing. Explicitly trying to stay clear of full screen and dashboard type stuff, like what blessed provides.
-
Like seriously why does not one does it ?
Not exactly a shell scripting framework, but y’all should check out blessed js. Weirdly enough I just found it yesterday and shit goes absolutely wild in the terminal
-
NodeJS Backend with UI Help. New to UI/Frameworks
Perhaps you’d like a terminal based UI? https://github.com/chjj/blessed
-
Command line applications
You can build them from scratch, or use one of many specialized libraries on NPM, like commander, yargs, blessed, terminal kit, prompts, and many more.
-
get input from user while continuously outputting
This is where libraries come in: https://github.com/chjj/blessed - this allows you to manage rendering in the terminal on your own, so you can have a scrolling box of text at the top and a "command line" at the bottom.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (28/2022)!
I was hoping to write my app in Rust as a learning exercise, but my alternative is https://www.npmjs.com/package/blessed, which is NodeJS. Ah well.
