- Config issues

Enter Flox: a virtual env manager for developers who want things to *just work*.

✅ Set up environments in seconds
✅ Install packages & services
✅ Share setups without breaking things

Hoo boy am I tired of seeing messages in my browser's JavaScript from some deep transitive dependency of the app I work on, saying "We're about to remove support for <feature that a slightly less nested transitive dependency uses>, sucks to be you."

Where the hell do you get started making "modern" UIs with HTML/CSS/JavaScript?

I'm used to writing everything by hand. Now I've got to somehow choose between 4,000 "modern, performant, etc." frameworks. Do I use JavaScript or can I use something better like TypeScript? Which of the 30 different "modern, perfromant, etc." build systems do I use?

How many million NPM packages are each of these going to require?
