More generic examples needed

[luminarious]

Hey! I was looking for Gulp alternatives and the pitch for this one is good, it looks very usable as far the API goes. It's currently very JS-centric though, so it would be great to have an example of how I would use this for more general build tasks (with Stylus or Sass to get CSS, Pug or Markdown to get HTML files).

Are this kind of examples planned?

[luminarious]

I'm pretty sure https://github.com/jescalan/accord could be used to simplify the preprocessing part as it already supports a ton of different languages.

Hey!

we already have about 30 tasks including less, post-css and clean-css. almost all of them were made by me for my personal needs :) but it's so easy to write a new task (imo much easier than with Gulp) so it's really community oriented. I can help anyone with anything if you provide me a real-life list of your needs, like sass, markdown, etc.

Me too.

@luminarious, i didn't see any more needs and problems when I started digging around start. In reality it is possible to combine them, because each task should/may return file object or filepath to the next task. In case with bundlers is a lil' bit different. That's why I opened tunnckoCore/start-rollup#4 last hours.

I also created https://github.com/tunnckoCore/start-buble. :) And i'm thinking to create a task for the @jstransformers.

@deepsweet actually, I think we can move them here in that org :)

and a bit offtopic: i'm feeling cool that last days more and more stars (just noticed ~20 stars for last ~40 hours) and users come to start :) Maybe because the few links here and there :)

👍 please wait few more days before I'll finally finish tasks refactoring and bumping

@luminarious so, do you need tasks for markdown or sass?

[luminarious]

My current projects use mostly Jade and Stylus, so I'd be very happy to try out tasks for these instead :)

[deepsweet]

I believe it's done.
