PBS Tidbit 19C — Building a JavaScript CLI App with NodeJS

In this final episode of Tidbit 19, Bart walks us through the very few libraries he used for the final design of his Linkifier CLI App. His choices on tooling to build nice terminal commands and provide color in the terminal (like red for error messages) were based on simplicity, the fewest dependencies, and active support. It was a very fun episode to record as he wrapped the entire story up in a bow. You can find Bart's fabulous tutorial shownotes and the audio podcast at pbs.bartificer.net.
