Obituary.js

CLI tool for generating obituaries, written in JS

Purpose

A learning exercise for me to create a CLI tool with Node.js.

A place to not be morbid about death. Read my thoughts about obituaries.

After reading a bunch of NYTimes Obituaries, I've noticed they all have the same format.

1. Opening hook of how this person made an impact
2. A famous moment of the recently deceased (or perhaps two or three)
3. Family history - abruptly go back to talking about the very beginning
4. A short chronology of big moments in the deceased life
5. Family Acknowledgements - "He/She is survived by..."
6. Closing words from the deceased, perhaps a quote

API

# run the "obit" command to begin the prompt of questions.
