my problem with all these boilerplate is their reliance on tangential technologies. (Babel/Webpack/MaterialUi/etc).
Unbundling these takes a lot of effort, and for me, probably more than the gain from using the boilerplate in the first place.
- mxstbr 11y agoThe whole point of a boilerplate (for me) is that you don't have to care about those tangential technologies. I take care of setting up Babel and Webpack with hot-reloading, add linting rules that make sense, write a working ServiceWorker script, etc., so you only have to worry about writing your application. * Disclaimer: I made the boilerplate this post is about.
- novaleaf 11y agoFor me, I try to figure out everything that the code is doing before I use it (using it more as a tutorial/guide) so having a lot of other tech to deal with gets in the way of the "get it working first" version
