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)
