This is just way too many dependencies no? I thought I was scrolling a Facebook feed ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

I think itโ€™s fun to use all these promising libraries but wonโ€™t this introduce a ton of pain to keep the app going and up to date?

Good writeup!

I think it was moreover offering options to choose from for a full stack application, based on one's own need for whatever they require. Adding all of these into a single application would absolutely be over kill.

You do make a good point about obsolescence in 3rd party packages though. That will always be an issue for external dependencies. The amount of npm packages that hundreds-of-thousands rely upon that are out of date is frightening to say the least. Doesn't stop everyone from depending on them, though ๐Ÿ™ƒ
