Very cool. I'm looking at it more in depth and I'm pretty impressed. This is basically all things I've been doing for years, but encapsulated in a way that I'm pretty sure end users will be able to use. I've always built these beasts and tried to evangelize for a MEAN stack as the best option but people haven't been ready. I have never met a problem I felt promises were a good solution for, but you've done a really great job of using them to let people who can't think asynchronously get things done.

Pseudo URLs are also something I've done before but are never the optimal solution. Again though, this is something that will allow a total beginner to catch up to me about 75%, and I've been developing for 25 years.

Are you talking about symlinks on synced folders? I absolutely love synced folders, but the whole idea is fundamentally incompatible with symlinks. Think about the VM actually interpreting the link and resolving the path against its own filesystem. Just doesn't make sense. If you want that, share the directory on the host and mount it in your VM so it's your host resolving the link.

My experience with Vagrant is that it's amazing, but I've only used it for a web application with Github and Jenkins for CI. Dev team doesn't have to spend a second thinking outside the git repo.

Gonna check it out. I always use request and cheerio on node so it's almost identical. Is this an actual headless browser though? When I have to go that route it's painfully slow.
