🎯 Darty

What is the Darty?

Darty is a front-end development system to allow developers to start their projects immediately. By Darty's convention over configuration mindset, webpack and typescript compiler configurations are handled by darty's itself.

This project is the product of many years of iterative development and combined community knowledge. However you're free to architect your code in the way that you want, you'll be starting with a structured, scaleable and adaptable basecode.

Disclosure

The project was named as Dart after the dart game all we know. Although I think it's a generic name, authorities from Google have claimed dart is a trademarked name they own. They asked me to find a new name for this project. Otherwise, they stated that their legal or trademark teams will be involved.

Sadly... that's the reason why I renamed this project as darty.
