This looks interesting, but am I the only one turned off by having to ‘npm install’ to try it out?

- sjbrown 8y agoYeah, I wish it were just a docker image up on the hub
- hombre_fatal 8y agoThat "just" is just your favorite alternative to "npm install". There's nothing "just" about it. Like preferring it was a pip or apt install.
- larrywright 8y agoSure there is. When I’m done looking at it, I delete the Docker image and it’s gone from my system. That’s more effort with npm. Also, the docker solution works for everything. So whether it’s a node app, or python, or Go, or Ruby... the process is the same.
- tln 8y agoGetting a docker image to performantly access a local folder across platforms is a huge challenge. I love docker but it's just not good enough at handling watched folders.
- sergiodxa 8y agoYou could create a Docker image that runs `npm install` and upload it to the hub.
- otab111 8y agoPossibly. The announcement is all about the local version, so there's no way to try that out without installing it locally. However, it's the local version of a product that already exists entirely online with no need to `npm install` anything.
