Existing tools

If you actually use and like nodejs, then you would be better taking a look at the tools that inspired this repository

  • jspm - Import map handling, they are the best at manipulating import maps :heart:
  • vite
  • snowpack

These tools have a bigger community and rely on an even bigger ecosystem plus they support plugins via npm so if you're using node stick with them they are a better choice Perla's unbundled development was inspired by both snowpack and vite, CDN dependencies were inspired by snowpack's remote sources development
