Contributing
  • • 'Framework agnostic' - you can use it anywhere. Why reinvent the wheel?
  • • Use a package that does exactly what you want
  • • Find one that almost suits and add the missing functionality
  • • You don't have to write the code yourself
  • • Commercial friendly OSS licenses
  • • A community of developers to rely on, instead of a single person
  • • Classes for common tasks that can be used without pulling in an entire framework
