and what is the problem with that? "Single guy made a good looking and so far working product in only 59 commits since september" is a different way to present the same facts.



Language is so interesting.

You read the parent comment and took it as throwing shade. I read the parent comment and took it as pragmatic admiration.


Honestly, I also took it as throwing shade. I had to read the whole thing and realised that GP clearly wasn't throwing shade.

I am wondering why I initially thought that. Maybe a mindset of inherently better software created by Teams that's instilled within us these days could be a part of it. Trusting a lone programmer, it's harder because you have to reject the "programming".


I think it's because of several points that can be interpreted as good or bad:

- "relatively new project" > code is fresh and certainly well-organized / maybe lacks stability

- "all by one person" > a single vision is a good thing / if that person gives up the project, it's dead

- "no other project mentions it" > [no good aspect in that] / no real-world usage

If you have any experience in the frontend field, those points are more often bad than good. You don't want to invest time and/or money in that kind of project that has a high chance of being dead within a year.

Now, that does not mean that it's a bad project (it looks pretty good actually), but it's just very young.

Edit: actually I like this framework very much (but I have a thing for underdogs). It might be ideal to quickly throw POCs or toy projects


Minimalist web frameworks are better in my opinion. Less code that can break, less friction between you and DOM.


Did GP say there was a problem?
