Security is definitely a topic we're super concerned about.
There's an interesting tradeoff with using re-usable components - that is, if there's a security vulnerability in one component, then all apps using it are affected (for example the notable npm incident https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/07/12/npm_eslint/ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/07/12/npm_eslint/)!
The flip side is that one can easily detect and patch all applications affected by that vulnerability. I'd love to have a chat with anyone who has some thoughts on how to deal with this problem more effectively (email is in my description).
