Change my-app to just app and some QOL webpack stuff

There is a reason for the verbose <my-app> tag name.
<app> does not work in ShadomDom, ShadowDom requires a dash in custom element tag name like <my-app>.

[3cp]

For reference, we have a warning for user on such ShadowDom requirement (It's from ShadowDom spec, not Aurelia):

perhaps scaffold the name like <projectname>-app?

Yea that was the eventual goal. As far as shadow dom. Do not hurt the 99% for the 1% is my motto. Shadow DOM people rename it.

app-root would be something of better taste as well perhaps

[3cp]

Yes, app-root sounds better than my-app.

BTW, I don't think "makes"' default project name "my-app" matters. People will change it anyway when creating real project. We can even set default project name to "" to force user to type.

@3cp - You give way too much credit. Developers are not like they used to be. They leave it out of the box and tack on. Just like CRA (they don't touch shit)

[3cp]

Might be true. But you should not say that in public :D
In that case, how ~/my-app/ is worse than ~/app/? :-)

[brandonseydel]

Its just not professional enough to release into the wild is all.

I don't mind the project name change much. (au2-app might be a good candidate too)
For the root component name, let's do <app-root>, it's very clear. The ${projectname}-app is not bad, but it requires more coding without justified benefit. I like the simpler <app-root>.
If you update the branch, we can merge them.
