Reddit post 2020/04/04 - React: Choosing a Frontend Framework/Library

The right question is: is there added value in reinventing the wheel? (button, form controls, badge, card, spinner, modal...). The existing wheels will probably ride better than yours.

I would go with vanilla Bootstrap (just the Sass part, not the JS part).

Bootstrap

Bootstrap CSS utilities are very nice: same principles as Tailwind CSS.

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Possible solutions

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

Python 2.x

$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000

Synopsis

At the top of the file there should be a short introduction and/ or overview that explains what the project is. This description should match descriptions added for package managers (Gemspec, package.json, etc.)

Code Example

Show what the library does as concisely as possible, developers should be able to figure out how your project solves their problem by looking at the code example. Make sure the API you are showing off is obvious, and that your code is short and concise.
