Ask HN: Anyone want to help me build a third-party script manager app?

1 pointsby karolisdalmost 12 years ago
Is there an app to manage all the third-party JavaScripts on a website? What I want is something that I can add scripts or snippets to, arrange them in order, and decide whether to load them synchronously or asynchronously. The the app will minify and concatenate, creating a loader script and uploading it to CloudFront.<p>I could use this app, this is a simple example, to setup a script to load jQuery synchronously THEN load Visual Website Optimizer synchronously, wait for the document to be ready, THEN load Google Analytics asynchronously. I can do this manually, but if this could all be managed from a web UI, it would be great.<p>A lot of my clients have so many scripts that they don&#x27;t even know what is on their website. I want to give them a single script and then manage the loading of third-party scripts from an app.<p>I&#x27;ve thought a lot about this and I have the process diagrammed out pretty well. But I&#x27;m a front-end guy who&#x27;s dabbling in Rails and I&#x27;m not at the level yet to build out what I&#x27;m planning. Is there anyone who&#x27;d be interested in creating a MVP based on this idea? I can provide wireframes, diagrams, UI, and directions. It&#x27;s kind of a niche idea, but I think there are some extra features that can turn it into a SaaS people will pay for.
