What Hacker News says

Look no further than Webpack shutting down their website and documentation then angrily dismissing POCs who are concerned they can't do their jobs. [1] In the same light, they shut down all of the incredibly respectful criticism they received, mostly centered around not having the website accessible after dismissing the message. [2] [1] https://github.com/webpack/webpack.js.org/issues/3765 [2] https://github.com/webpack/webpack.js.org/issues/3762 Have we reached a point where open source will throw POC developers under the bus in order to score political virtue points? It's a total trainwreck, and politics is used as a weapon in open source against political enemies through shut downs, egregious code of conduct policies and arbitrary enforcement actions.
In Opinion: Open-source should stay away from all kinds of politics
Can you please add some documentation for sourcemap and debugging to the doc? WP 1's sourcemap doc is confusing as hell and WP 2's doc just copied that over. I imagine debugging un-transpiled code with sourcemap is one of the most common use-cases. And I'm not alone if you look at the disqus of WP's doc[0] and a blog by @bebraw[1], one of the guys running webpack.js.org. I even opened an issue[2], I hope it can make into your MVP.
