Just tried to audit my own code base locally and was 'switched' due to my own creds/auth code ...

Really nice work. I had been using Photopea for cropping and quick edits when preparing references for painting but this is super clean and simple.

I would also like to address the 'scarcity' claim - when cryptos are being churned out like in the last few years they're hardly scarce anymore ...

I think the point was a financially successful company not contributing to an open source project even after making a bunch of money just seems un-ethical?

IMO React and it's ilk are amazing in some applications but the problem is trying to make 'everything' a React/Angular/Vue app without considering scaling or how it would benefit a user. I have been tasked with building complex UX'x which would've been far simpler and performant as a multi-page type app with some plain JS sugar.I agree with wrnr - I too am leaning more towards WebComponents where some dynamic functionality is required. It provides us the ability to not only keep the tech stack small and also avoid all the dependency and version pitfalls.

Coming from a job working on a WebObjects behemoth this is terrifying for me ...
