> Claiming that software that never saw any real production traffic is "production-ready" is a bold claim to say the least. What is production traffic? > I dug into the code base and there doesn't appear to be _any_ tests. I really hope no one actually uses this application for anything real. Why? Plenty of great software doesn't include test files, and that's not a bad thing. Writing proper test files means you'll easily end up spending 2/3 of the time writing test code, and even after you've written all these test files, then you still have to do a lot of external tests as well. For instance, setting up external uptime services to ensure things are running as intended, testing everything is loading properly on multiple browsers + devices, stress test, etc. You seem to assume they've done no tests whatsoever just because they don't bother writing test files. > But validating its functionality is a mammoth task that probably isn't worth doing when existing marketplaces/hosted stores already exist that undoubtedly do it better. It's worth doing if you're interested in working with a similar stack. I won't comment on the server code since I haven't worked with Node (and hate JS), but the Vuejs client looks good. > The author also doesn't seem to have any qualms about burning bridges either. I agree, but the same could be said about you.
