biggest pain points.md
  • npm all the things! It sucks when packages aren't browserify-able.
  • functional/integration tests are incredibly painful to write, run, and maintain.
  • even client side unit tests are hard to debug.
  • I know dev tools are working hard on being an editor, but I wish there was better integration between dev tools and my editor. Editors are hard, dev tools should let the apps that do it well, manage the problem.
  • I wish there was a way to "live reload" js in a hot-swap kinda way.
  • JS errors tend to suck. Async stack traces are a huge win, but some errors are always inscrutable: undefined is not a function

but I wish there was better integration

emmet livestyle did this well. also usetakana.com it's totally possible. all the APIs are there for tools to integrate with.
