Hey Dave here, I built Pingy CLI. :)

I decided to extract the build tool stuff from the Pingy Desktop App [1] and make it open source and available as a stand-alone CLI.

It's not designed for complicated web apps (use gulp/grunt/webpack instead), but for less complicated stuff it's a good fit. Hope you all like it. I'm happy to answer any questions and take feedback. :)

Very nice website design too. Those little callouts, and click to copy, etc are a really nice touch!

Ah, thanks, I spend a lot of time trying to get those little elements correct. It makes it worthwhile when people appreciate those touches!

I love the idea, I think this is great for small projects and for getting your feet wet with build tools. Is adding React and ES6 part of the roadmap at all. Those are quickly becoming project defaults that would be nice to have.

Possibly but I'm focusing on simple websites first. I hope to expand to more use-cases over time.

Of course, Babel and the JSX transform will work just fine with Pingy. I'm just not optimizing the project in that direction right now.
