4 years ago I don't believe this is a need anymore. I have found ways to make this not as valuable of a tool as I thought it would be. The getting started of this project is getting shorter and shorter making this idea no longer needed.
I have always wanted the "blanky" projects be a way to be a CLI program that can generate projects quickly and easy.
I have never quite decided the best way to do this as I have these goals:
[ ] Template projects can all compile themselves. You do not take template projects source code and manually type in
{{ app_name }}template style text to be dynamically updated. This should be done for you by another tool.[ ] A CLI that asks you for input, it generates the end project.
[ ] Possibly a way to have the CLI tool test templates? Make sure that templates are valid essentially and it doesn't break stuff. This might not be needed but I assume so.
[ ] CLI can download templates to your computer so easily use to generate later.
[ ] Way to toggle on/off functionality of a template. It asks you if you will use Picasso or Glide for example and generates accordingly.
Yeoman exists but is meant for web (it might also work for others such as Android?).
I simply need to explore this more to see what tools already exist that might solve this problem for me already. Tools I can leverage to do mostly what I need and can edit to.
