+# clover's typescript library
+
+`lib` is a collection of high-quality typescript libraries for things missing in
+either browsers or node.js. originally, these were helper functions used to
+create my website, <https://paperclover.net>, but i started wanting them across
+projects.
+
+all top-level namespaces stand alone as their own projects, and generally do not
+depend on each other. no external dependencies == easy to audit.
+
+the public api is simply all of the code. an overview:
+
+<!-- - `async` -->
+<!-- - `error` - interop with the `unknown` type in error handlers -->
+<!-- - `fs` - rebuilt api for `node:fs` -->
+<!-- - `lru` - least recently used cache -->
+<!-- - `mime` - trimmed database of mime types -->
+<!-- - `subprocess` - rebuilt api for `node:child_process` -->
+<!-- - `testing` -->
+
+- `string`
+- `term` - logging, terminal, interactive widgets
+- `term/ansi` - cursor and color constants
+- `term/headless` - use `term` and `term/progress` without a pty
+- `term/progress` - progress bar, spinner, and tree
+- `ts` typescript types and general purpose code
+
+these libraries are published as is, **without versioning or maintainance
+guarantees**. note that on package registries where a semantic version is
+required, a major version bump is done on each publication.
+
+to contribute bug fixes, please send patches to <git@paperclover.net>.
