That's interesting. How did you contribute?

I've used gulp for build automation in the past. I think it solves the problem of having to do it your self. Or maybe that comment is a no trainer because it's clearly stated on the website.

I'm doing a few things today. One of which is a node app which integrates with Google docs. I need a report taken from a database and stored in a Google Doc which can then make use of GSuite features.

I took a look at frameworklessmovement.org it makes sense to use it in some respects. Web components are really good.

So considering you consider the platform to be a framework. What do you define as a platform?

What do you define as a platform?

The DOM, mostly...also the three languages, html, css and javascript, in that order.

I never thought as the DOM as a platform. But in further notice that makes sense.

Yeah, and it is VERY small and loads really quickly.
Of course, that doesn't apply for node. I'm not sure what the platform is called there...perhaps simply 'node'.

Yeah it's called Node. It provides APIs that allow file system access. You can create servers and more.

Yes, I know what node /is/ - I just don't know what they call the 'platform'.
IE, a browser isn't called 'DOM' though that is (I think) what they call it as a platform.
