What makes a boilerplate too opinionated and/or low-quality ?

[KaKi87]

Hello,

On September 2020, I began creating an open source project using Electron.
At the time, I was using Electron 11, Vue 2 and Parcel 1.
As it gained maturity, I created, 6 months later, a boilerplate from it.
At the same time, I also created another Electron app, for my company's internal use.
A few days ago, I created another boilerplate, benifiting from my second app's experience, as well as Electron 17, Vue 3 and Parcel 2.

Since I created my first boilerplate while I was mostly inexperienced in Electron apps development, I did not shared nor documented it, although it still was public.

Today, I am somewhat proud of it, made it a README and an icon, and would like to share it, so I thought about looking for an awesome list to put it on.

Until I read :

Boilerplates are not accepted as most boilerplates are too opinionated and low-quality and I don't have time to comment on everything they need to improve.

Well, I did specified in my README that my project is opinionated, mostly because I made it as small as possible, not necessarily in terms of overall weight, but in a way that the initial package itself contains as less stuff as possible for the developer to understand :

• Using programmatic APIs so that package.json only contains "start": "node ./start.mjs" and "build": "node ./build.mjs" in scripts
• Using a zero-config bundler to avoid requiring many configuration files ;
• Not using any transpiler/linter/prettier ;

But, it also contains personal preferences, like :

• Electron/DevTools/CSS dark mode configurations
• DevTools set to open in detached mode and automatically opening when starting development server
• Using destyle.css to remove default CSS (not replace like reset stylesheets)

So, is it too much opinionated, or could it fit the criteria to be added to an awesome list ?

Thanks.
