Uhh, I got a bit distracted and spent way more time trying to scaffold a typescript project with bun I wanted to use bun since it's really fast at compiling/bundling and it comes with all the nice stuffs that lets me skip the trouble of installing a bunch of node dependencies.
The problem is that it doesn't have a built-in feature for hot reloading client code, like what vitejs I really should have opted to go with vite, that kinds of defeat the purpose of using bun, since vite adds tons of dependencies and complexity that I don't need.
What I just need is:
- bundle typescript code
- auto-page reload when any files are changed
- local development server
After some head-scratching and fumbling, I managed to get the setup I want. Now I can go back and continue the ant project for real.
I mostly planned how the UI will behave, I decided to copy somewhat the dolphin file browser behavior. As for cell insertion, I'll add a paint mode, where I can brush or fill new cells. I might consider adding some undo/redo feature too.
The features I listed aren't exactly overscoping, they are at least necessary features for it to be useable, still doable with LOC < 1K.
I'm considering using typescript at this point though, to save me some time debugging or fixing type errors.
