i have a growing @e18e.dev roadmap of very useful tools we could all benefit from
to make it happen, we need two things: sponsors, and leads/champions 👀
if you're interested in either, come chat to me and i'd be happy to show you through the roadmap we have!

have been using preact for a side project recently and am thoroughly enjoying it
the signals dev tools are super nice too. would love to see similar exist for other frameworks, even just to visualise the signal networks/flows

20.x - pass
22.x - tries to run ts sources
try turn off ts
20.x - no such option as "no-experimental-strip-types"
22.x - pass
lets try a glob instead
20.x - could not find "lib/**/*_test.js" (20 doesn't support globs)

Quite a few micro utils exist to brute force an "on exit" listener, i.e they listen on 10-20 different events to try ensure all kinds of exit are accounted for
