I've heard about optimizing for developer happiness, but this is kind of silly. - the app has an unintuitive and harmful name that casts aspersions on the core values it purportedly touts because the developer saw that it was an available .io domain [0] - This app has a shitton of leftover boilerplate and dev dependencies from a bootstrap scaffold, even though AFAIK there is no testing suite. (Because we all know how safe npm dependencies are...) - A good number of unnecessary non-dev dependencies too. It includes font-awesome, which seems unnecessary to include in its entirety already...but are there any uses of font-awesome? I did a search for "font-awesome" and "fa-" but couldn't find any. I understand using boilerplate generators to learn the ropes of creating within a framework...I've done it to learn React and Angular. But to use a scaffold-generator for a niche and highly specialized/sensitive app like this? It can't mean that it's anything more than a toy app. And yet one in which the decision to give it the name "felony" just looks immature on the author's part, meaning that it's not even useful as a resume padder.
