There must be a better way

Hi

It's been a while since you made that video, thanks for the tutorial btw, I just spent some days trying to find a better way to link express+parcel+vue all together with less minimal configurations and one node_modules directory and getting a hot reload for both nodemon at the server and parcel at the client side...
There must've been an easy way to do it, but I'm not sure if parcel support express's middleware:
parcel-bundler/parcel#4612
looks like some people did it:

well, I'm not sure... maybe I should go for webpack4?
