A Webpack-based boilerplate for developing Elm applications with live reloading, asset support, and production bundling.
elm-webpack-starter is a boilerplate project that provides a ready-to-use Webpack configuration for developing Elm applications. It sets up a development environment with live reloading, asset management, and production bundling, eliminating the need to manually configure build tools. The starter includes Bootstrap for styling and a basic Elm app scaffold to help developers get started quickly.
Elm developers who want a pre-configured build pipeline with Webpack, especially those new to Elm or looking for a standardized project setup.
It saves time by providing a battle-tested Webpack configuration tailored for Elm, including hot reloading and production optimizations out of the box. Developers can start coding immediately without wrestling with build tool configuration.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Includes a development server with hot module replacement for faster iteration, as highlighted in the README for quick coding cycles.
Handles CSS, SCSS with Autoprefixer, and image assets out of the box, simplifying frontend asset management without extra configuration.
Comes with Bootstrap 3.3+ (Sass version) for rapid UI prototyping, reducing initial styling setup time for developers.
Automates bundling and minification for deployment, ensuring optimized output for production as demonstrated in the build script.
Based on Elm 0.18 and Bootstrap 3.3, which are several versions behind current releases, limiting access to newer language features and modern CSS frameworks.
Bundles Bootstrap by default, which adds unnecessary bloat for projects not using it, and removing it requires manual Webpack configuration changes.
The 'reinstall' script performs a global Elm install, which could conflict with existing installations or not align with containerized or isolated development environments.
