Regarding point 4: more people need to realise picking the right NPM package in the JS ecosystem is becoming a "must-have" skill, but the only way to find the right package is still to be constantly up-to-date with the ecosystem, endless google searches or hoping someone on Twitter can just tell you what's better.
This is why I built https://pkg.land/ (beta), append NPM package name to the url and a list of alternatives will be suggested. See https://pkg.land/colors
