Splendid work, thanks for sharing! I like to bundle/minify the production code for the same your reasons. I've checked out your code from the repo and I noticed that the build directory cannot be renamed. # works $ node build # attempt 1 - does not work $ mv build my-app $ node my-app # attempt 2 - does not work $ cd build $ node . Any ideas to build the application, than move artifacts and run without any prefix ?
