## What it is
Workshopper is a Node.js framework for building interactive terminal-based coding workshops, essentially a test runner with a fancy terminal UI used by tutorials like learnyounode. It is no longer maintained and has been superseded by workshopper-adventure.

## Use cases
- build an interactive terminal coding tutorial
- create a nodeschool-style workshop
- run learnyounode-style exercises in the terminal
- validate user solutions to programming exercises via CLI
- build a menu-driven learning app in the terminal

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy nodeschool workshop already built on workshopper

## When to avoid
- starting a new workshop project - use workshopper-adventure instead
- you need maintained, supported software
- you need a web-based or GUI learning platform

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: abandoned
- function: cli, testing, terminal-ui
- domain: education, developer-tools
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: nodeschool, workshop-runner, interactive-tutorials, learning, education, command-line, nodejs
