Gulp and Grunt and other heavyweight build tools are great for complicated build workflows. Sometimes you want something simpler that doesn't take lots of configuration to get up and running

Gulp and Grunt and other heavyweight build tools are great for complicated build workflows. Sometimes you want something simpler that doesn't take lots of configuration to get up and running. That's Pingy CLI. Star An interactive prompt will ask you a few questions and can then install requested dependencies (e.g. Sass, Less, Babel, CoffeeScript etc..). Optionally, init can also scaffold some boilerplate files for your website. Pingy is zero-configuration but it does place a .pingy.json file in your website folder to help Pingy identify the root of your website. Currently, this only contains the default folder name for exporting you site ('dist'), you can change this if you like. Coming…from pin.gy

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
