I get you. Yes, it does combined readline and optparse-type functionality. It's similar to Commander.js, with the exception that you have the option of staying in the "shell" after the first command executes, and then it is i

I see that point of view - that makes sense.

Thanks man! Yeah, it's got stdout piping methods, etc. which make it easy. It's also got UI manipulation methods so you can simulate user action. I haven't particularly had any trouble writing tests, but really it depends on

I can understand that. Fortunately, Node is becoming huge in terms of CLI - there's a ton of really useful CLI apps for all kinds of things. To the point where it becomes advantageous to have NPM installed, Node developer or not. At th

Got you covered. Extensions, extensions. Guess I should have advertised that in the site. https://github.com/vorpaljs/vorpal-autocomplete-fs

True. Though in Node, you can make calls to standard programs, so it can act pretty seamlessly. And there's already a lot of direction towards supporting a lot of familiar methods and more. Like this: https://www.npmjs.com&#

I can see that, but it really depends on your use case. There are many instances where this can come in handy. But perhaps I can re-work the wording!

When your actual Node .js file runs `require('a')`, it has no context to determine which version it is requiring. To expect Node to look for a package.json file at runtime is absurd. This presents a problem.

Thanks! Feel free to give it a ^ to help spread the word!

:) As you put, the primary reason is that Vorpal has a broader scope by itself, though Vantage is still very powerful. Vorpal's already got a lot of cool use cases that wouldn't apply to Vantage, like this one: https://

Ah haha - it's an idea. I have two other Vorpal apps I'm making right now, and then after they're done that would be the next one I would make.

The main use I intended for this is to make it ridiculously easy to make useful developer tools - CLIs come really natural to devs, and so I tried to make something a ton of people could build off of to make a ton of cool tools. An example

Looks pretty cool. One piece of advice that will IMHO make or break the usability of the site: You are going to need to add tags and / or filtering options for the skillsets of the advisors. Reading a one-to-two-sentence bio of each ad
