Describing that collection of tools as "minimalistic" was indeed a touch of irony.

Angular (1.x) might not be "cool" anymore, but it can be pretty darn "minimal" to set up: https://github.com/roboprog/ang-prog-enh

(above not quite done, it's for a presentation I'm going to do in December, but it's pretty close)

React works better for many things - server side rendering for SEO; endless scrawling wall of chunks of more-of-the-same (social media...) - but it's not "simple".




...and I'm just sitting here, using jQuery..


And that works well for some use-cases, as well.

E.g. - I (only) want to read some hidden link data in the original page DOM, then load some page fragments that are taking longer to generate.


I guess I should have said it is helpful that somebody is putting together a tutorial for what they feel is a useful path to a certain destination.

BUT, the author might want to address the "elephant in the room" that there is a certain amount of necessary complexity if you want to meet certain goals.


Yeah that's awesome! I still reference the Angular seed project whenever doing a quick front-end for a prototype.
