Hi @Coert_Metz,

I am not aware of any cases, but patches or examples would be welcome :-). Snowpack appears to rely heavily on ESM `import` statements, and the currently reality of the compatibility issues between CommonJS modules, ECMAScript modules, and the Node.js ecosystem make that a difficult practical requirement for a real-world app that has many dependencies.

For similar functionality in creating a React.js app, check out [create-itk-app](https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-itk-app), in creating Vue.js app, check out [paraview-glance](https://kitware.github.io/paraview-glance/index.html).
