What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A novelty CLI tool that wraps npm so you can watch GIFs in your terminal (or browser) while npm install runs. It works as a drop-in replacement for the npm command.

Use cases

  • watch gifs while npm install runs
  • make npm install less boring
  • replace npm with a fun wrapper
  • display gifs inline in iterm2 terminal

When to choose

  • you want a fun novelty wrapper around npm on macOS with iTerm2
  • you want to entertain yourself during long npm installs

When to avoid

  • you need actual npm functionality changes or performance improvements
  • you are not on macOS with iTerm2 (GIFs open in browser instead)
  • you need a maintained tool (last release 2017)
