Honest question: Does anyone use standalone global jQuery plugins any longer? I've been using browserify, require, and webpack for so long now, I don't know if this is interesting to anyone anymore.

I do.

I have a set of 2 or 3 plugins I use repeatedly. I keep meaning to learn these new tools, but I can't seem to find anything easy that says "Here is how to just use these things, on jquery, d3 and one other file, maybe with some babel", everything seems to dive off in random directions.

Honest answer. Thank you -- and an idea for a blogpost I could help provide the community.

I would be interested. I personally just make little graphical demos with jquery + d3, using babel because I like es6. At the moment my build process is a shell script which runs babel, and then 'cat' to glue the files together :)

I just download jquery + d3 from their websites.

Yes yes yes. As much as I prefer Java I am not against JS, I just find it hard to enter modern JS (was productive with classic JS and JQuery).

The libraries I need to use, Esri's JavaScript API is incompatible with those tools so yes I still use standalone plugins.

We use existing ones, but we haven't added any new ones in 2-3 years. Our web code dates back to before module bundlers were around and removing jQuery isn't really worth the effort.

This is a great idea.

I love the UX and the simple examples of usage for the plugins.

Brilliant!.

Nice job. The simple examples are sweet.
