Hi HN!
This is a project of mine that has been in the works for the past couple months. The goal is to make modern web development more accessible for folks without a traditional programming background, by deferring the need to learn a command-line interface until later.
Specifically, it manages projects for you by solving 3 traditionally-CLI-only problems:
- Running a local dev server
- Executing NPM scripts for building, testing, etc
- Managing NPM dependencies
This is an early Alpha, and I have much larger ambitions for the project, but I'm releasing it early to collect feedback and see if this is indeed something that would benefit folks.
I do realize that the audience on HN will by-and-large already be comfortable on the command line, and so this is of limited utility for y'all, but if y'all have friends/family looking to learn modern web dev, I'd be keen to get their thoughts on this project.
