My biggest critique is the min version (not gzipped) is pretty heafty at 83kb.  Might be worth running through closure compiler to see if it can be brought down further.  Using rollup over webpack may also help a bit.  the @babel/preset-env should also specify a minimum browser version... IE11 would probably be the most appropriate baseline.  though, as mentioned rollup may be better than webpack+babel for a library like this.

TFA seems to be a fairly shallow comparison of React and Angular... nothing really new and while I also prefer React and really don't care for Angular, the comparison is so shallow that it doesn't really give enough "why" to be compelling in either case.

Definitely interesting... haven't actually tried it though... mostly using Dialog via material-ui.

Don't use moment.. it's too big... use luxon from the same org, or date-fns

Kind of a meh article.  There's very little point to the Angular example, and the rest doesn't provide much.

IMHO, for the most part, just use fetch, and write your own abstraction for your API access over that.

Decent article... should probably include generators and for await while at it though.

Other than I'm not sure about the need for trolley, the service the blog is oriented around.  There's a 2% fee on top of Stripe's relatively high fees.

I love JS, love node... but "fast" is relative.  There is also scale, and environment cost to consider.  You need a runtime, you may need a convoluted build environment.  It varies.

For me, it's a language that almost everyone has to know/use as so many applications have a web front end.  It's a scripted language that runs almost everywhere you'd want it (Linux, Windows, Mac).  You don't generally need a build step for orchestration scripts.  package.json tasks with npm make it easy to have your dependencies and the task definitions in one convenient spot.

A couple technical issues, and not a clear comparison of why one would use JWT over or in addition to cookies.

While very cool, I'd really rather see a blog article for how it all came together, tools used, etc.
