wellwish

Archetype: Node.js package

wellwish generates a nuanced well-wishing phrase based on English cultural norms.

In US English, well-wishing phrases like "Have a good day", "Have a good evening", or "Have a good night" are common. However, phrases like "Have a good afternoon" or "Have a good morning" can sometimes feel too specific, as if you're only wishing someone well for a limited part of the day rather than the whole day.
