Reviewing the frontend code, a couple of things stand out.

1) The HTML/CSS code isn't minified.

2) The PNG images can be compressed further (lossless) for extra savings.

3) CSS classes/ids could be further shortened in post-processing.

Does HTML ever need minifying? Serving using compression would handle it wouldn’t it?

html minifer mostly just remove the whitespaces. Compression (gzip or brotli) preserves the source, i.e. decompressed file is exactly the same as the original's; whereas minifier alters the source.

Well that’s what I mean. Minifying css/js makes sense as it usually includes a concatenation stage.

Minifying HTML just makes your page source slightly harder to look at. Whitespace would be squashed into almost nothing with in-transit compression.

Probably something nobody ever needs to think of, but as a web dev it’s an argument I’ve had more than once!

After AMP was introduced, I converted to DDG (DuckDuckGo) and after taking some time getting used to it and personalizing it’s settings, I haven’t gone back to Google.

I’m thankful to come to work every day and appreciate my coworkers and those around me. I feel like without those smart and good folks life would be a lot more difficult.

Come on npm, no one blindly does "npm install kik" expecting to install a messenger client.

Assuming you are serious and not here to troll, I would suggest checking out Founder Dating (http://founderdating.com). I don't have any affiliations with the company though I am a member and it's a very active community and the website helps connect people together to build something together.

Why though? There are alternatives.

I went from Google Reader to Feedly, and I'm quite happy.

I agree with your points but at the same time their UI is now so easy to navigate that my not so tech savvy 70 year old dad can use Netflix without ever calling me and asking me any questions. So my guess is, Netflix is trying to be more like a preprogrammed TiVo with lots of content than trying to appeal to the super users that may want those features.

I find their new UI cramped and more difficult to navigate. It seems like they are trying to bury some features like user reviews, now relegated to a secondary tab called "Details" and squeezed into a scrolling view that only show two reviews on my big monitor.

A new browser for our friends but don't touch it! lol

Great job on the framework! It's nice to see a framework that pushes JS Devs into using new ES6+ conventions.

My only concern with using Google Drive is worrying about it's future. Who knows if it will get axed like Google Reader did. At least with using DropBox or other alternatives you know what the companies MVP is.
