LintSync Config Unifier

One config to rule all your formatters and linters, ending tool sprawl

Problem
Developers juggle Prettier, ESLint, Ruff, Black and more, each with its own config and ignore file. Slight mismatches cause CI failures and duplicated settings; recent attempts to extend EditorConfig to linters show the pain is real and widespread.
Solution
A central config layer that reads .editorconfig or a dedicated lintconfig, generates and validates per-tool config snippets, flags conflicts across the toolchain, unifies ignore rules, and can enforce config drift in CI.
Users
Tech leads, DevOps engineers, and maintainers of small-to-medium teams or OSS projects
MVP
Parse EditorConfig and map to Prettier/ESLint/Ruff; lint command to detect config inconsistencies; sync command to generate missing configs; CI integration examples; VS Code status bar hint
Revenue
Open-source core + team subscription (private config sync, audit history, Slack alerts)
Why now
AI coding tools make project bootstrapping faster but toolchains messier; an indie dev can cover the top 3-5 tool combos and acquire users via CLI and editor extensions
