Project mention: Did you look into rust and decide not to go with it? | reddit.com/r/ExperiencedDevs | 2021-11-24
Also helped that I found https://github.com/vercel/pkg - which lets you compile nodejs code into a single binary. The binary was even much more portable (compatible with other linux distros + older releases) than anything I compiled in Rust/Haskell/dotnet.

enquirer
Stylish, intuitive and user-friendly prompts, for Node.js. Used by eslint, webpack, Generate, lint-staged, pm2, gluegun, hygen, GitHub Actions Toolkit, @airbnb/nimbus, and many others!
It's insanely funny to me that these packages exist while one of his bigger projects (https://github.com/enquirer/enquirer) lists the following reason under "why use it":

standard-version

Project mention: Ask a question before a git commit when committing to a certain folder | reddit.com/r/learnjavascript | 2021-08-18

carbon-now-cli - Beautiful images of your code — from right inside your terminal.
-
May be less relevant for your particular workflow (because npm-specific and because everything is internal for you), but I’m a big fan of an alternative in the auto-release-generation space: the combo of release-it and release-it-lerna-changelog, which give you the same kind of automation but don’t require specific git commit messages, because instead the combo uses the GH API and labels to generate the changelog. This is a muuuuuch nicer experience for external contributors, because it puts the responsibility for that back on maintainers instead.
-
Using create-react-library to scaffold a React component library.
