Interesting to see open-source packages coming out of Dollar Shave Club. They have over 40 projects on github that have been updated within the last year.

We are a major player in Ember Fastboot. We're trying to open source more projects that have value, so it's nice to hear people notice!

Honestly I would be surprised to not see this keep growing. Most technology companies rely on Open Source and many are "giving back" as a way to help others how they were helped (or at the very least it's a great recruiting tool). The last start-up I worked at I worked on three different open source projects that we needed but could also help the community if they needed a similar solution.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What exactly is "dangerous" about this? The functionality is pretty straightforward - it just creates a parent element of the correct width/height around an element that dictates the original elements height, and then resizes the inside one proportionately as needed for responsiveness (using CSS only).

"Dangerous" was the wrong word, and I should have expanded further. Also, it appears as though my use case isn't specifically for what this is designed, so I take that back. I'm thinking of the case in which this may be useful to modify older complex sites where chosen selectors might cause unexpected results. Apologies.

Reframe.js is written the way that it is (to do 1 thing simply) to put the power back in the hands of the asset owner. This approach was chosen over trying to solve all ~all of the things~.
