Backpack vs Pingy CLI: What are the differences?
Backpack: Build Node.js backends with Webpack. Backpack is minimalistic build system for Node.js. Inspired by Facebook's create-react-app, Zeit's Next.js, and Remy's Nodemon, Backpack lets you create modern Node.js apps and services with zero configuration. Backpack handles all the file-watching, live-reloading, transpiling, and bundling, so you don't have to; Pingy CLI: The Simple Front End Build Tool. Gulp and Grunt and other heavyweight build tools are great for complicated build workflows. Sometimes you want something simpler that doesn't take lots of configuration to get up and running. That's Pingy CLI.
Backpack and Pingy CLI belong to "JS Build Tools / JS Task Runners" category of the tech stack.
Backpack and Pingy CLI are both open source tools. It seems that Backpack with 4.14K GitHub stars and 174 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Pingy CLI with 391 GitHub stars and 14 GitHub forks.
