1. Ink
Ink provides the same component-based UI building experience that React offers in the browser, but for command-line apps. It uses Yoga to build Flexbox layouts in the terminal, so most CSS-like props are available in Ink as well. If you are already familiar with React, you already know Ink.
React for CLIs. Build and test your CLI output using components.

If you are already familiar with React, you already know Ink.
Since Ink is a React renderer, it means that all features of React are supported.
Head over to React website for documentation on how to use it.
Only Ink's methods will be documented in this readme.
Note: This is documentation for Ink 3. If you're looking for docs on Ink 2, check out this release. There's also a migration guide from Ink 2 available.
Flowy makes creating WebApps with flowchart functionality an incredibly simple task. Build automation software, mind mapping tools, or simple programming platforms in minutes by implementing the library into your project.
Nativefier is a command-line tool to easily create a desktop app for any web site with minimal configuration. Apps are wrapped by Electron (which uses Chromium under the hood) in an OS executable (.app, .exe, etc) for use on Windows, macOS and Linux.
You want to make a native wrapper for WhatsApp Web (or any web page).

Introduction
Nativefier is a command-line tool to easily create a desktop app for any web site
with minimal configuration. Apps are wrapped by Electron
(which uses Chromium under the hood) in an OS executable (.app, .exe, etc)
for use on Windows, macOS and Linux.
I did this because I was tired of having to ⌘-tab or alt-tab to my browser and then search
through the numerous open tabs when I was using Facebook Messenger or
Whatsapp Web (HN thread). Nativefier features:
The goal of this project is to enable users to create cool web demos using the newly released OpenAI GPT-3 API with just a few lines of Python.
GPT-3 Sandbox: Turn your ideas into demos in a matter of minutes
Initial release date: 19 July 2020
Note that this repository is not under any active development; just basic maintenance.
Description
The goal of this project is to enable users to create cool web demos using the newly released OpenAI GPT-3 API with just a few lines of Python.
This project addresses the following issues:
Automatically formatting a user's inputs and outputs so that the model can effectively pattern-match
Creating a web app for a user to deploy locally and showcase their idea
Here's a quick example of priming GPT to convert English to LaTeX:
# Construct GPT object and show some examples
gpt = GPT(engine="davinci"
temperature=0.5,
max_tokens=100)
gpt.add_example(Example('Two plus two equals four', '2 + 2 = 4'))
gpt.add_example(Example('The integral from zero to infinity', '\\int_0^{\\infty}'))
gpt.add_example(Example('The gradient of x squared plus two times x with respect to x', '\\nabla_x

Stencil is a simple compiler for generating Web Components and static site generated progressive web apps (PWA). Stencil was built by the Ionic team for its next generation of performant mobile and desktop Web Components.
A toolchain for building scalable, enterprise-ready component systems on top of TypeScript and Web Component standards. Stencil components can be distributed natively to React, Angular, Vue, and traditional web developers from a single, framework-agnostic codebase.
Stencil: A Compiler for Web Components and PWAs
npm init stencil
Stencil is a simple compiler for generating Web Components and static site generated progressive web apps (PWA). Stencil was built by the Ionic team for its next generation of performant mobile and desktop Web Components.
Stencil combines the best concepts of the most popular frontend frameworks into a compile-time rather than run-time tool. It takes TypeScript, JSX, an asynchronous rendering pipeline to ensure smooth running animations, lazy-loading out of the box, and generates 100% standards-based Web Components that run on both modern browsers and legacy browsers.
Stencil components are just Web Components, so they work in any major framework or with no framework at all. In many cases, Stencil can be used as a drop in replacement for traditional frontend frameworks given the capabilities now available in the browser, though using it as such is certainly not required.
