What Hacker News says?
You could be right. I tried to fact check myself and couldn't find a reference to which browser hit 100% first. I did see this article about safari shipping modules first, though: https://www.contentful.com/blog/2017/04/04/es6-modules-suppo...

HN discussionReally well done and I like the brevity. Here are some ideas for revising the code: 1. There are two functions called "distance" and they're identical.

With services like GitHub and Netlify (for hosting) and Contentful (as a content editing GUI) the day-to-day experience is seamless, you don't have to worry about security issues like you have with a traditional CMS, and you c…

HN discussionI guess they're going after the people who don't need a db first, then add features to support some kind of "db-lite" functionality later. They're competing with wordpress/squarespace, not gcloud or aws (mostly..) :) See addons: https://www.netlify.com/products/ Also services like this allow you to have a "cms" which is the typical use of a db for _most_ websites: https://www.contentful.com/ . You are correct, heavy…

HN discussionCurious if you've used Contentful ( http://contentful.com ) or Dato ( https://www.datocms.com ) yet - and if you have, what your biggest issues were with them. We've used Contentful extensively basically since it's inception, and have toyed around with Dato enough to know what the offering is. We have our own list of missing pieces for both but am always curious about other's experiences.
