hactar

I had a similarish vision/idea about 7ish years ago https://github.com/Hactar-js/hactar I was way too early though and it didn't work well. I have recoded it probably half a dozen times since then and the latest prototype attempt used GPT as the core tech. The biggest hurdle I found was that it just wasn't deterministic enough. You can work around this with mixing and matching custom compilers into the workflow but then you run into a "only works with a limited set of components and frameworks" problem; and at that point it is basically a boilerplate tool with extra steps. I found a workflow with prompts + some Emacs wizardy to make them runnable with a few keystrokes got me 99% of the same feature set without any of the headaches of trying to fully automate it so I stopped work on it. A prompt library and an editor extension is hard to f

Constantly learning and I have dabbled in everything from C++ game dev to Haskell. Could easily learn a new stack or an de-rust an old one (PHP hate is silly). I have built my own frameworks https://github.com/eldr-rb/eldr, written books https://getgood.at/build-your-own/sinatra, and created tools that make developers lives easier https://github.com/Hactar-js/hactar.

I'm working on a few things; 1. A bunch of dev books, tutorials and content for https://getGood.at 2. A zero config JS dev tool, you can see the prototype for it on GitHub https://github.com/Hactar-js/hactar. Currently working on a major rewrite using Reason. 3. A JS bundler and ES7 compiler in Reason. Think webpack and babel but ridiculously fast (compile times measured in ms instead of seconds) and with a massively simplified developer experience.

Awhile back I hacked together a project called Hactar (https://github.com/Hactar-js/hactar). In a nutshell, it parses code (javascript projects) and automatically configures dependencies. If you use ES6 it will add and configure babel, add CSS and it will add Webpack, start requiring SVG files and it will add a SVG Webpack loader etc. I never really had time to further develop the idea. It has sat gathering dust since the weekend I hacked it together. Recently, seeing stuff like Kite (https://kite.com) pop up has made me wonder if there would be a commercial market for this sort of thing. What says the HN community? Is it worth pursuing this further?
