🎉 nr v1.0.0 - The First Stable Release! 🚀

We're thrilled to announce the first stable release of nr — the blazing-fast npm script runner! ⚡

🔥 Highlights

⚡ 26x Faster Than the Competition

No more waiting around. nr starts your scripts instantly.

Runner Time Speedup
🥇 nr 10ms 26x
🥈 bun 11ms 23x
🥉 npm 125ms 2x
yarn 133ms 1.9x
pnpm 256ms 1x

🦀 Built with Rust

Pure, native performance. No Node.js startup. No npm overhead. Just raw speed.

📦 Tiny Footprint

377KB — that's it! No runtime, no garbage collector, no bloat.

✨ Features

  • 🏃 Zero startup overhead — native binary starts instantly
  • 🔄 Direct exec — on Unix, replaces itself with your command (no fork!)
  • 📋 Script listing — just run nr to see available scripts
  • ➡️ Argument passing — nr test -- --watch works exactly as expected
  • 🖥️ Cross-platform — macOS, Linux, and Windows (via Git Bash/WSL)

📥 Installation

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dawsbot/nr/main/install.sh | sh

Or build from source:

  git clone https://github.com/dawsbot/nr
  cd nr && cargo build --release

🎯 Usage

List all scripts

nr

Run a script

nr build

Pass arguments

nr test -- --watch

🤔 Philosophy

nr is intentionally minimal:

  • ❌ No pre/post lifecycle scripts
  • ❌ No workspace support
  • ✅ Maximum speed for the common case

Need those features? Use npm. Want speed? Use nr. 🏎️💨

Your scripts deserve to start fast. Now they do. ⚡

🌟 Star us on GitHub if nr makes your workflow faster! 🌟
