Smidge has been around as a runtime bundler since the beginning of ASP.NET Core even back when DNX was a thing, if you remember that. ![]() I'm going to take a look at Shannon Deminck's " Smidge" in this post. At some point a community wants to "pick a winner" but even as I write this blog post, someone else we haven't met yet is likely making the next great bundler/minifier. Sometimes people are aware of other projects and sometimes they aren't. Both Mads and Shannon and a dozen other people are all making great libraries and useful stuff. Sometimes it's locale/location, niceness of docs, marketing, word of mouth, website. ![]() Many things can affect whether an open source library "pops," and it's not always merit. The same would apply if I made a node.js library but a node.js core committer also made a similar one. Often when there's more than one way to do things, but one of the ways is made by a Microsoft employee like Mads - even if it's in his spare time - it can feel like inside baseball or an unfair advantage. Shannon has a number of great libraries on his GitHub including not just " Smidge" but also Examine, an indexing system, ClientDependency for managing all your client side assets, and Articulate, a blog engine built on Umbraco. A few people mentioned that Shannon Deminick also had a great minifier for ASP.NET Core. Yesterday I blogged about WebOptimizer, a minifier that Mads Kristensen wrote for ASP.NET Core. ![]()
