Dev kit
What is Dev kit?
Dev kit is a start-kit which intends to make building dev tools with GUI easier.
Why?
I experiement with different ideas to make programming fun and easy. As a result, I build tools that would help me be more productive and hopfully help others as well. Majestic is one of those.
I used to use electron to build these tools but I wanted to find a more suitable tech stack and eventually move away from electron. So I started re-writing majestic without electron but with a node server. So users can install the module globally and start using it. Recently reactotron also made the same decision.
So instead of setting up the boilerplate everytime I build a tool, this starter kit could ease things a bit.
Dev kit comes with
- A webpack config for React and Typescript for frontend
- A node server with typescript support for backend
- GraphQL support for communicating with UI and the server
- Nodemon config for the server
- VS Code task to debug the server when you have to
