## What it is
A lightweight webpack-based starter kit for frontend JavaScript projects, bundling Babel, ESLint, SASS, PostCSS, and Stylelint configuration out of the box. It provides dev server and production build scripts so developers can begin coding without setting up tooling themselves.

## Use cases
- bootstrap a new webpack frontend project
- starter template with es6 babel and sass support
- set up eslint and stylelint linting for a javascript project
- simple webpack dev server setup for vanilla js
- production build config that extracts css to a separate file
- lightweight alternative to create-react-app

## When to choose
- starting a small vanilla JavaScript frontend project without a framework
- you want preconfigured webpack, babel, sass, and linting
- you prefer a minimal, understandable build setup

## When to avoid
- building a React, Vue, or Angular app with an existing CLI scaffolder
- you need SSR or a full framework with routing and state management
- your project uses Vite or another modern bundler already
