NodeSand
A sandbox for a quick Node.js script. TypeScript, watch mode, execution timing, benchmarks and a static file server are ready without creating a project around them.
About this project
NodeSand is a place to run a quick Node.js script without building a project around it. One command creates the sandbox, and what would otherwise be a folder of scratch files with a hand-written manifest is ready to run.
A script can be run once, or watched and re-run on every save. Execution time is reported when it finishes, and when two approaches need a fairer comparison than a single run, a benchmark file runs them side by side through Tinybench and prints the latency and throughput of each. A static file server is there for the times an experiment needs a page to load. TypeScript, ESLint and Prettier are configured, so a throwaway script still gets the checks a real one would.
It is deliberately small: a sandbox for testing an idea, measuring two approaches against each other or reproducing a bug, and not a framework to build an application on.
