I have a weak-spot for Grunt, the task runner with its endless variation of plugins.
So by now I have a whole bunch of small plugins on npm. According to the npm stats people actually use them too, which is a nice bonus. Strange enough the most simple ones get the most traffic, like grunt-execute. I'm not complaining though, it is very cool people find their use in small things.
Hacking the plugins teaches you a lot about coding to solve specific problems and finding elegant options structures. And you get fast at it too, I now regularly write one-off multi-tasks to solve problems in my projects.
I'll not go into detail as the descriptions on npm speak for themselves.
This is a TypeScript compiler for Grunt. It is not originally my own plugin but maintained by a fellow DefinitelyTyped organisation member. He made me co-owner and I occasionally expand some functionality and get involved in the discussions in the issues.
