You can use hofstadter to build a live boilerplate? Can we see it somewhere? Highly interested since it's something I tried to build unsuccessfully in the past.

See in what sense? Hof can make any code "live" in two senses (1) editable code that can also be updated (2) hot-reload style during development

I don't call out "living boilerplate" as a section in the documentation, but I think setting up a generator module with just static files should suffice. Certainly you can get more fancy if you want your users to provide some inputs.

Happy to help or show you this in Slack or a video call.

I'm planning a *create" subcommand to make this even easier for those who would use your boilerplate. It will have an interactive first time experience like react create-app
