Code is a Liability

Too much code slows you down, creates risks, increases maintainability burdens, confuses AI. So let's commit less of it.

With just one dev dependency, you get

• Testing with built-in mocking support
• Strict type checking
• Strict linting
• Formatting
• Spell checking
• LLM rules
• customized MCP server (coming soon)
• Automatic npm install
• IDE setup
• git setup
• Dev Container setup
• all in a hot-reloading trigger-on-save setup

Using carefully curated and optimized well-established open source packages, so you don't have to commit and maintain all of that yourself. It's even opinionated, so you avoid wasting time bike-shedding.

Get Started

Simply run

$ npm init riddance

Drop a .ts file in the directory, run

$ npm start

Try adding a type error, a spelling error, or some bad formatting, and see it react. Try adding a dependency to package.json and see it install automatically. Drop a Mocha test file in a test directory and see it run the tests.
