A few weeks ago I published a post about building ncmds — a zero-configuration, Markdown-driven documentation site builder I was running on Flask + Python. The post got some traction, a handful of stars on GitHub, and a few contributors poking around the code. That was great.
Then I quietly rewrote the entire backend in TypeScript.
This post is the honest story of why.
