Make Testing Fun with Test Reporters
summary
Demonstrates concrete steps for building reporters: map result states, emit one-symbol output per test, then print a summary; implements both RSpec formatters and Minitest output hooks. Demos include MiniTest Pride, Fuubar, and Nyan Cat Formatter — the Nyan Cat becomes a gem, runs in daily workflow, supports multiline animation and shows pass/fail/pending as emoji, and it actually works. Claims: trivial to implement, useful as progress feedback, and uplifting enough that the author keeps using it.
