Research direction

Review how the Express application generator currently exposes options and produces its Jade-based output. Determine the scope of an opinionless variant with HTML files and fewer files or folders; done would mean the generator can select that variant and produce the proposed minimal structure.

Description

Hi, I was going to fork and build a variant of this generator that is extremely basic, e.g. HTML files instead of Jade, less files and folders in general. I thought I'd check whether this is something that is appropriate to be added as an option when the generator is run. If that is not an acceptable idea, I will go ahead and build the basic version for myself.
