compy

0.1.31 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript deprecated

compy is a lightweight app builder and compiler for web apps, version 0.1.31, based on TJ's component package manager. It allows installing and using components from the component ecosystem without configuration, supporting local require, preprocessors like CoffeeScript, Sass, Jade, and Stylus via plugins, and includes features like livereload, static server, and karma test runner. Key differentiators: framework-agnostic, zero-config setup, and integration with component's plugin system.

fix Use Node 8 or lower, or switch to alternative build tools.
