I found frontend tranquility in Snowpack and snowpack-rollup for production builds.
- kevsim 6y agoAny gotchas? When I read about Snowpack, I always get a too-good-to-be-true feeling. Maybe I'm just jaded by years of grunt, webpack, parcel, etc.
- dmitriid 6y agoFor starting from scratch it mist likely does wonders. Don't try converting a large legacy-ish codebase :)
- pea 6y agoWe love parceljs, too. Check it out.
- danmur 6y agoI like parceljs too. I haven't used it on big projects (plus I'm not a web dev currently) but I found it to be more "config when you need to change the defaults" than "no config". But that's great. It works out of the box for a lot of stuff and you add some dotfiles when you want to customise. I do want to try snowpack too though.
- hashkb 6y agoSnowpack got really really slow after I added a few dependencies. Also, it can't reuse its cache between a docker container and my laptop... I was hoping the cache would be portable but it's not. It needed more restarts than webpack. And you give away your freedom to tinker.
- SCLeo 6y agoMay I ask what is the problem with parcel? I can't remember I have ever run into problems with parcel. Maybe it's because, unlike when using webpack, I never try to perform "dark arts" when using parcel.
- pull_my_finger 6y agoI had previously run into the issue of Parcel watching `node_modules` for file changes and inevitably having issues related to that. There are a few issues on GH related to that, to which the devs basically said "that's a feature, not a bug". It's been a while since I used Parcel though, Idk if that's still and issue.
