I don't understand that contribution. Repository author wrote an Angular module based on competing framework, what seemed to be interesting for me.

Than he wrote in the description of the module more or less, no one uses Angular, that it is complicated and literally a joke.

With all these, and other claims being utterly false, it just does not make sense to me at all what is the purpose of this repository.

Is it an Angular ecosystem contribution, or is it an attempt to smear Angular as a way to advertise featured competing frameworks?

Author here, to be clear I really like Angular and am using it for many projects at our company. This project is an attempt to make it better and easier to use.

I'm not trying to advertise competing frameworks. But Angular can learn from other frameworks, which do some things better... mainly the routing. It was important to me to illustrate what Angular does badly, as to show the need for this project.

What exactly are the false claims?? I said Angular is commonly joked about, which there's plenty of evidence for; Youtube videos, twitter, stack overflow surveys.

This is an Angular ecosystem contribution and I hope some people find it useful.

Thanks for reply. I see the description has changed and now it is clearer what it is. I like it. Great work!
