Re: Mern: Build JavaScript apps using React and Redux
#54FWIW 'isomorphic javascript' was pretty much supplanted by 'universal javascript' last year per this medium post [1]. You might consider changing the copy. Edit: At the very least Dan Abramov (Redux creator) is ok with universal [2] [1] https://medium.com/@mjackson/universal-javascript-4761051b7a... [2] https://github.com/gaearon/react-redux-universal-hot-example
Lets not get caught in 'war of words'. There is no standard to it and I don't think it matters as long as you understand what it means.

#55Why MongoDB?
I use MongoDB because I can instantly save down a JavaScript object and later retrieve it in the same state. I don't have to worry about anything else. No configuration, nothing. That's all I need but if there are better options I'm all ears.
You can do that with almost any language and any storage. JSON.

#58How do you handle sessions and user auth?
This is just a boilerplate, you can add auth on top of it like any other app. Anyway, soon we will add another example which uses auth and handles sessions.

#59Earlier quoted context omitted.
Because people hate the constraints put in place by SQL. It doesn't really matter that they'll spend dozens of hours re-implementing stuff they would've gotten for free with SQL in a RDBMS (not to mention the benefit of serious stability), what matters is that the initial effort to make a change is much lower, and thus developers feel like they're saving a lot of time/hassle. They don't seem to connect the cost on th…
With NoSQL you do have to reimplement all of the constraints in the application but this will likely be necessary even for SQL code because you'll need to provide both server and client side validations on user input. SQL can be even more of a pain because you'll need additional checks to handle the SQL server's particular blend of error handling if/when something goes wrong. In both SQL and NoSQL, any decent ORM sho…
Like ORM, NoSQL looks as a good decision at the beginning...

#60I just don't understand the motivation for the cli. Isn't it much easier to just clone the mern boilerplate repo, rather than npm installing some cli, then running a command. If there are no options, what's the point? Admittedly, I might be missing something.
