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
