A template repo for simple Node.js projects.

Primarly focused on prototyping with Node.JS where the tools should not get in the way.

I use Node.JS a lot for small internal tools. Typescript is a must-have when working with data, and it's hassle remembering how to set it up each time to use modern JS features. Popular GitHub Node.JS templates try to be too helpful, and slow down dev.

This template has..

• YES Supports modern JS features
• YES Typescript should just work
• YES JS is allowed too, typescript is not forced

This template does not include..

• NO Aggressive linting
• NO Git hooks, vscode settings, or other annoying defaults
• NO Testing, just building
• NO Messing with tsc build config
