progressimo: A lightweight, animated terminal progress bar library with accessibility-first themes
Hi everyone! I just published progressimo, a new npm package for animated terminal progress bars.I built this because I wanted something more visually engaging and accessible than the standard static bars. It’s been a great learning experience for Node.js internals.Technical Highlights:
•Animation Logic: Used readline.cursorTo() and readline.clearLine() to handle the terminal overwriting without flickering.
•Accessibility: Includes 3 specific palettes designed for colorblind developers (Protanopia, Deuteranopia, Tritanopia).
•Performance: 8KB, zero-dependency core, optimized for minimal CPU overhead.
•Theme Engine: Supports custom JSON themes so you can build your own styles.
What I learned:
This was my first time diving deep into package.json's exports and bin fields to ensure a smooth CLI experience. It taught me that DX (Developer Experience) starts with the smallest details, like a progress bar.I'd love to hear your feedback on the theme engine or any feature requests!Links:
•npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/progressimo
•GitHub: https://github.com/realsahilsaini/progressimo
