Grunt vs Sagui: What are the differences?
Grunt: The JavaScript Task Runner. The less work you have to do when performing repetitive tasks like minification, compilation, unit testing, linting, etc, the easier your job becomes. After you've configured it, a task runner can do most of that mundane work for you—and your team—with basically zero effort; Sagui: Front-end tooling in a single dependency. Sagui is all about good defaults. It is the single development dependency you need to worry about, taking care of build, tests and the development server.
Grunt and Sagui belong to "JS Build Tools / JS Task Runners" category of the tech stack.
Grunt and Sagui are both open source tools. Grunt with 11.9K GitHub stars and 1.55K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Sagui with 695 GitHub stars and 32 GitHub forks.
Very simple to use and a great way to optimize repetitive tasks, like optimize PNG images, convert to WebP, create sprite images with CSS.
I didn't choose Grunt because of the fact it uses files and Gulp uses memory, making it faster for my use case since I need to work with 3000+ small images. And the fact Gulp has 32k+ stars on GitHub.
