    I'm a big fan of React but it took me a year after its introduction for me to get it and like it. What particularly did the trick for me was one of Pete Hunt's talks he gave a year…

    The docs page delivered 270kb of compressed and minified JavaScript (1MB uncompressed) but sadly didn't seem to show anything with JavaScript disabled. I thought all the hot new Re…

    Aren't generators part of Babel? As long as you target ES5 shouldn't you be able to use generators via Babel?

    There was a guy who joined the Knockout or Angular team (I forget which) since they had similar ideas for the future of their frameworks. Not too long later, he left them and resta…

    Ask HN: Why would people trust their banking credentials to a service like Mint?

    Thanks for reminding me about lobste.rs. Last time I checked it out there weren't many comments which didn't inspire me to leave a comment. My favorite part of HN was the potential…
