Wouldn't mind seeing a default set of mocks for use with `createNodeMock` ...  Maybe an extension for sinon.

Regarding the "uncaughtException", I will usually put enough to log the error as a fatal error to the logger, wait 100ms (for logger to flush) and process.exit(666) ...

Regarding custom net server implementation...   JSON.stringify will, by default wind up on one escaped line, you can then use newline (\n) termination for requests and responses, making it quite a bit easier to dynamically extend for future use, as well as being able to stream input/output compared to other multi-line requests and termination.

Did not know about the repl .load, very cool.

Nice work on pulling this together...  There seem to be some work towards Ubuntu and Windows (UWP) React Native applications as targets as well.

As an alternative, one could also use React proper with electron and/or cordova for platform specific targets and share more codebase.  Depending on your app, this may be a better choice.

Pretty cool, just the same, I find that Observables tend to be a path to spaghetti... I can see this as being useful for example with a standalone form, or where you're enhancing some stand alone, server-rendered content, but this is definitely not the best approach (imho) for a full application.

Can't see tfa/site from work... but not sure I'd put this out there... it's ripe for an injection attack, and there are some relatively small markdown libraries that run fine in the browser, and on the server.

I usually go a couple steps further, which is to fully copy the bootstrap.scss main file as well as variables.scss ... I'll update the bootstrap.scss copy to point to the local variables... I've done mixins in the past but never actually found myself changing existing ones.  I'll include my own mixins that references the original.

In this way, I have...

    /styles/root.scss
      includes bootstrap.scss
    /styles/bootstrap.scss
      references local vars and mixins, rest from bootstrap
    /styles/_variables.scss
      copy of bootstrap variables
    /styles/_mixins.scss
      reference bootstrap's mixins

root is included at the top of the project...  Other components will have a .scss next to the component that may include variables and/or mixins as needed.

This way I can have my globals, and what I need inline.  Beyond all of this, it's easier to comment out parts of bootstrap I'm not using.  As to copying variables.scss, this is because I sometimes find it hard to remember what should/can be replaced.  I also will usually adjust the font bases, as well as some of the colors and styling choices in variables directly.

In the end it's a much cleaner codebase.

Came to say the same... also, if I see anything else called "Unity" in software, like ever, I'll just go on an insane unidirectional killing spree (not really, but it's irritating to say the least).

I had expected a blog series on SOLID principles applied to JS.

Appears to be a singleton pattern with no apparent server-side story...

Interesting... wondering how many breaking changes there are, and if it would be possible to shim a few of them, and just make this "npm@4" somewhere in node@7 before the branch to node@8 starts.

I really hope that the final result will be some of the effects of yarn going into npm4 instead of a long term fragmentation here.  I'm still looking at projects that are/have used bower, and that's enough to make things annoying, to say the least.  At least Yarn seems to build on npm's conventions.
