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?
