Opinionless, minimalist variant

vlvagerviwager opened this issue · comments

Hi, I was going to fork and build a variant of this generator that is extremely basic, e.g. HTML files instead of Jade, less files and folders in general. I thought I'd check whether this is something that is appropriate to be added as an option when the generator is run. If that is not an acceptable idea, I will go ahead and build the basic version for myself.

Well, wouldn't adding this as an option to this generator go against the idea of having an optionless thing?

@dougwilson I'm not sure, but you might have misread the title :) I was referring mainly to Jade being an opinionated choice.

It could be added as an option alongside the existing CLI options, but I just wanted to check if this was desired before going ahead with it.

Thanks, but I guess I'm still not clear on what the ask is? Our command can be run without any options and you get the default values. Then you can set any option to change one of those. I believe everything is already configurable as an option, right? Perhaps there is another way to express your idea, as I still don't understand the ask, sorry!

@dougwilson No worries, I'll sketch out what I'm imagining in a repo and come back. Feel free to close this in the meantime. Thanks for your quick responses!
