Yes haha, autocorrect got me :)

Thanks for replying. I hope I didn't come off as too arrogant or bashful. I do see your point with having tiny dependencies and reducing cognitive load. I have projects balloon up in size. I think the small dependency is a point you should highlight on your website. With regards to the JS interoperability, does Mint play well with libraries from the JS ecosystem?

I don't really see a major advantage of this over using create-react-app with Typescript and libraries like Styled components for styling and react-router for routing. All of the batteries-included features can be easily handled by libraries and tools that are already well developed.

I mostly find interesting tech talks using this YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtxCXg-UvSnTKPOzLH4wJaQ It has a lot of tech talks however some are not that great, nice to see a better curated list.

You might like dev.to which is a blog platform/community for developers. Users can choose which topics they are interested to and see content relevant to those.

I find Wire(wire.com) to be well designed and usable, especially their mac client. Only issue I have with Wire is having no anonymous sign up and having to rely on a central server to add contacts but the former can be worked around by using a temporary email.

I take issue with having to provide a cell phone number for Signal. I just hope Tox clients get more polished and more usable as every client I've used except toxic has been terribly buggy.

You can find a lot of open source projects that need help and have beginner level issues here: https://github.com/yourfirstpr/yourfirstpr.github.io/issues

I would also recommend FreeCodeCamp(https://www.freecodecamp.org/) which partners with charities that need developer help. FCC also has great tutorials that you may find helpful.
