in 2011 or so i was building a node. js cli tool when it hit me how plain console. log could get. needed something better for user output! wrote up some ansi escape codes, wrapped them in log and spinner functions - just enough to make things look neat
used this across projects but kept everything local till now i finally published my little utility class online ⬆️ its been living happily ever after as a standalone repo. anyone trying something similar?
i wonder how many others out there have built their own tools for handling output and if theyre sharing!
