The following question often tells me how well a developer actually understands JavaScript as a language.
What specific values are falsy in JavaScript?
Although that isn't the only question, most of the questions in TFA are really generic and most devs with any formal training can answer them.
I took a very similar approach when I made my first Node API over a decade ago. In the end, it got complicated pretty quickly. I actually really like the Koa/Oak approach myself.
When you get to the point of even several dozen routes, I can imagine the registration methods in TFA to become overly cumbersome to say the least.
Just my own $.02 on this.
Worth noting, that adding a month the naive way won't always get you what you should expect... for example:
let dtm = new Date(2020,0,31); // Fri Jan 31 2020...
dtm.setMonth(dtm.getMonth() + 1);
console.log(dtm);
// Mon Mar 02 2020...
That's not what you should expect, I would expect the last day of February.
function addMonths(dtm, months = 1) {
const month = dtm.getMonth() + ~~months;
const ret = new Date(dtm); // clone date - don't mutate
ret.setMonth(month);
if (ret.getMonth() > month) {
ret.setDate(0); // go to end of previous month
}
return ret;
}
This way you can add to the date, without mutation and get the expected result.
let dtmIn = new Date(2020,0,31);
let dtmOut = addMonths(new Date(2020,0,31));
console.log(dtmOut);
// Sat Feb 29 2020...
Interesting... though unsure about potential pitfalls or costs in the future. I tend to be extra leery if I don't see clear pricing, including anything related to distribution costs/fees from something that isn't open source.
Not against commercial efforts at all, and this definitely seems cool, just need more on licensing costs and plans for monetization before I would look deeper.

Beyond this, the API itself isn't really detailed well and there is missing context for supported browsers [1]. Which does indeed seem to be well supported. Links to the MozDev API docs might help as well.
