Would be nice to get a link to "Stacker" Betterdoc.org website is in German. Hard to find info.

Stacker is not released to the public, yet. Good to see that there is interest :) -- we will post more info shortly.

The web page is in german because we are serving german-speaking countries.

Stacker, to me, will always be the DOS hard drive compression software that Microsoft stole. [1] 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stac_Electronics

Wow. Brings back memories. I forgot on the fly disk compression used to be a thing. I didn't remember the lawsuit against Microsoft, though it doesn't surprise me.

Micro frontends seems like a technology that's similar to Electron in a way. It gets criticised for its performance characteristics but there one can't ignore the problems it tries to solve for medium-large teams — there is a real need for it.

Once webpack 5 adds support for this, I see a lot more folks using it.

Like electron, the performance characteristics would continue to improve in the long term, but may never be as efficient as hand rolling bundles.

Got a link to the "webpack 5 and micro-fe" stuff? Thanks!

This looks like a copy of an idea we built a few years ago (https://github.com/tes/compoxure) - still in heavy use at my previous company, along with lots of other folks like Zalando (https://github.com/zalando/tailor).

We ended up deciding that with the move to component based front end frameworks (react, storybook etc) that the overhead of this wasn't worth the benefits - every developer needs it running, along with lots of services etc.

I'd love to understand what others are thinking about composition on the front end these days. I guess the fact this just got created means that the problem we were trying to solve in 2014 still exists - so perhaps I have my answer?
