not the submitter but saw it recently mentioned as the small library powering asciicinema's 3.0 rebuild[1].

Yes, I found it from the article. I think that is an interesting library. Is pretty fast and developed/used for 5 years.

I cannot understand how some libraries are so popular without changing that much and others are not popular at all.

To be fair the first few years I wasn't really promoting it. Honestly just was content entering benchmarks and using it for my own purposes. Then React announced Hooks and it was like looking in a mirror. At that point I realized that people might actually use this library so I started promoting it. Honestly bigger players have so much inertia behind them it takes years to make a dent. We released 1.0 in July and things are just getting going.
