🚀 v1.4.0 – Zero Dependencies, Browser Choice & Bun Support

One year after the initial release, incognito-dev got a full tune-up — faster, lighter, and more reliable.

⚡ Zero Dependencies

All four runtime dependencies (chalk, figlet, boxen, detect-port) are gone, replaced by Node.js built-ins:

  • 📦 npm package size: 18.4MB → 5.5kB
  • 🚀 npx incognito-dev now starts nearly instantly
  • 🔐 Nothing in your supply chain but this package itself

🌐 Choose Your Browser

incognito-dev                    # Google Chrome (default)
incognito-dev --browser brave    # Brave Private Mode
incognito-dev --browser edge     # Microsoft Edge InPrivate
incognito-dev --help

🍞 Bun Support

Projects with bun.lock / bun.lockb are now detected automatically and run with bun run dev — alongside the existing npm, yarn, and pnpm support.

🛠️ Reliability Fixes

  • No more orphaned dev servers — Ctrl+C now kills the entire process tree, not just the wrapper shell
  • Smarter URL detection — handles ANSI-colored output and URLs split across stream chunks
  • No macOS automation prompt — AppleScript replaced with open -na
  • Dev server output is forwarded verbatim (no more extra blank lines)
  • Friendly error instead of a stack trace on malformed package.json
  • Falls back to your default browser if the chosen one isn't installed

🧪 Project Health

  • Unit tests via node:test (npm test)
  • Added LICENSE and CONTRIBUTING.md
  • Repository metadata added to package.json

📦 Requirements

  • Node.js 20.12+ (for the built-in util.styleText)
  • A dev script in your package.json:
"scripts": {
  "dev": "vite"
}
