Create-react-app: Let start-react-app provide a simple cli for common tasks?

[keyz]

Inspired by motion. It's very handy that I can type things into npm start to do some common tasks. Vorpal seems like a great tool for this.

Tasks that i can think of:

• o, open: open in browser
• e, edit: open project root in an editor (atom? 😃)
• v, verbose: show/hide all webpack logs

o is already done by default fyi ;)

Anybody wants to do the AppleScript thing before we release?

It's a little odd if the available commands are

npm start
npm run build
npm run eject
npm start e

Just because I would expect, if this project provides "n different scripts", for them each to be run in a similar way.

Ah, sorry I didn't make it clear @lacker. npm start will be a long-running session and I'm suggesting that it could provide a REPL-like cli like

Wow, this is pretty cool, I like that.

Feel free to ask me any questions on implementing Vorpal :+1:

Thanks @dthree!

Closing for now as no specific proposals that seem worth implementing.
