My new approach to build my frontend assets: node scripts
For years I was using gulp as a task runner to do all the routine things we used to do by hand over 10 years ago. First, somewhat around 2012 or 2013, I went with grunt, but as I felt it got abandoned, I switched to gulp. Meanwhile, some parts of this setup also seem to have been neglected. But I finally had the time and opportunity these days to tackle the problem and reduce dependencies.
