    I think the link in the ReadMe to the article about the motivations for this project is a much better read: https://medium.com/@sanchitgn/what-ive-learnt-developing-a-m...

    It clears up why he's using a boatload of libraries. Basically, he wrote it in such a way that you can save the page as a phone app/bookmark thing, and it'll work even if you're offline.

    The application is great but you illustrate perfectly what the web development is becoming, tens of files for just 3 features (add, edit, complete)

    Interesting, and it did most things I expected intuitively.

    One missing piece though...I expected to be able to move items up or down in order. Basically sorting the to-do list. That doesn't appear to work.

    Why someone needs "The big ones" plus 9 other libraries to do this? And a package manager!

    It does what it promises. One thing I miss is the option to un-complete a task. Besides that, it's pretty pretty.

    I like the the visual style, very minimalistic.

    The "progressive" part of this is all Firebase.

    Firebase handles your offline database, and syncing it for you automatically when you are reconnected.

    The animation into 'completed' is a little too jerky imo. Also the concept looks very similar to 'clear'.

    I see Firebase being used often around here to host progressive apps. Is there something that Firebase offers that is conducive to build progressive apps?

    $ yarn start

    yarn start v0.18.1

    $ react-scripts start

    sh: react-scripts: command not found

    ...The demo site looks cool, though :)
