    Spectacular Test Runner for JavaScript

    Project mention: Top React Testing Libraries in 2025 | dev.to | 2025-03-31

    Karma is a flexible test runner that allows developers to execute tests across multiple real browsers. It’s commonly paired with frameworks like Jasmine and Mocha to provide a seamless testing environment for React applications. Karma is particularly beneficial for applications where cross-browser compatibility is a priority, as it enables developers to validate functionality on various platforms simultaneously.

  7. maid

    Markdown driven task runner.

    Project mention: Show HN: A Markdown based alternative to package.json scripts and Makefiles | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-10-12

    It’s great to see more tools taking advantage of the markdown syntax.

    I’m the creator of Mask[0], a very similar tool built with Rust. I was originally inspired by Maid[1], which is an older take on this idea built with Node and no longer maintained I believe.

    I see this is based on Node as well, and I appreciate that it currently has zero dependencies. Nice work!
