I think the link in the ReadMe to the article about the motivations for this project is a much better read: https://medium.com/@sanchitgn/what-ive-learnt-developing-a-m...

It clears up why he's using a boatload of libraries. Basically, he wrote it in such a way that you can save the page as a phone app/bookmark thing, and it'll work even if you're offline.

The application is great but you illustrate perfectly what the web development is becoming, tens of files for just 3 features (add, edit, complete)

Exactly. I initially thought it was satire. A dozen external libraries and a special package manager to build something that can be written with equivalent functionality in 10 lines of bash. I don't exactly get why this is posted here. It seems like OP did this for the sake of his own learning, and that's well and good. But this is not a particularly interesting project and doesn't do anything novel.

"...written with equivalent functionality in 10 lines of bash."

Hyperbole much?

The OP isn't claiming to have done more than gluing together a bunch of stuff. And I don't think I can install a shell script on my phone. And it won't have equivalent functionality.

$ yarn start yarn start v0.18.1 $ react-scripts start sh: react-scripts: command not found ...The demo site looks cool, though :)

To get the react-scripts command, you'll need to globally install the react-scripts package with:

npm install -g react-scripts

Why someone needs "The big ones" plus 9 other libraries to do this? And a package manager!

At this moment, the top comment points to the explanation. TL;DR: The author is learning how to do PWAs.

Why "progressive" application needs to be so bloated?

Does anyone else find this PWA thing extremely ironic or is it just my age showing? It seems like we're basically reinventing the days of Delphi and VB, but this time it's over the Internet.

With a proper sandbox, and on multiple platforms, at the expense of resource usage and annoying dev experience (matter of taste admittedly). So I'm not sure where your Delphi comparison comes from, which IMHO was the opposite on all those 4 counts: quick and easy-to-dev, but windows only and you never knew if that .exe you downloaded was just a Todo app or a virus, a browser toolbar or...
