Personally, I try to avoid 3rd party dependencies whenever possible. When I do add them, I do so carefully.

On the projects (such as Electron apps) where I'm forced to use NPM, it just feels icky to watch the thousands of sub-dependencies flowing in, crapping up my project.

So for a green-field project, which this thing seems to target, it would require installing NPM just for this thing. And then I'd need to figure out how to uninstall it cleanly without wrecking the project.

But give me a single .html and .css file that I can add to a new project and yeah, this seems cool.
