• Given a local directory, search through all the
.js files and identify what browser compatibility the codebase is at, using the CanIUse APIs (e.g. isNaN is not supported in any IE version or ~7% of user browsers).
• Point to exact functions and lines that cause problems, visualize this data.
• This isn't as useful anymore with popular transpiling and polyfill libraries like Babel and less Internet Explorer usage, but can be useful for smaller or legacy projects or simply for education purposes.
• MVP: Do a simple keyword search for features; this will have a high false positive rate but will give you a place to start. Then improve upon keyword search!Tags
