Very easy to test your idea in Aurelia, Aurelia 2, Inferno, Preact, React, Svelte, and Vue 2. * Save code in your own GitHub gists, public or private. * Almost no backend. Backend is only for GitHub OAuth and centralised trace cache for performance. * Bundler runs purely in browser. * Built with Aurelia. Less than 10k LOC (js, html, scss) so far. https://github.com/dumberjs/dumber-gist https://github.com/dumberjs/dumber-gist * Runs on a tiny DigitalOcean $5/mth box. With a CloudFlare free plan to cache static resources. It's named Dumber Gist, as it runs on a new bundler called dumber https://dumber.js.org https://dumber.js.org (a successor of aurelia-cli built-in bundler).

Looks very professionally executed, well done! My only feedback, the name doesn't do it justice, "dumber". If you have plans to take it further, I would suggest coming up with a better branding that suits. I can easily see it sitting along CodePen or Glitch, especially if you can offer a more permanent hosting/deployment on those gists, it would be a very valuable tool for spinning up PoCs and various utilities for a team. Again, congrats on launching. It looks awesome.

  Thx! the name "dumber" was for the bundler which is one year older than this dumber-gist. I understand it's a debatable name but I think I will keep it :-) The name was picked out of frustration on many JS tools who constantly remind me how stupid I am. I just want a JS bundler dumber than me, so that I can take control of it. I am fine if my bundler didn't become popular. That is the most likely outcome anyway. I had lots of fun making my tools, that's rewarding enough. :-)

  I'm seconding this. Love the product, hate the name.

    To be honest, I used to call it gist-code then I renamed it halfway into it. I guess that was a better name after all :D
