GitHub Actions

Automate your workflow from idea to production
Pricing:
- Open Source
However, since GitHub has launched GitHub Actions I liked the idea of having the codebase close to the CI, so we don't need to get out of the GitHub ecosystem.

NLP.js Landing Page

NLP.js

An NLP library for building bots, with entity extraction, sentiment analysis, automatic language identify, and so more - axa-group/nlp.js

Since the previous release, NLP.js pushed a lot of work and has released a major version, moving from a monolithic library to multiple independent packages. So I spent some time to make Leon's NLP compatible to the latest changes.

ExpressJS

Sinatra inspired web development framework for node.js -- insanely fast, flexible, and simple
Pricing:
- Open Source
Most of the time we hear about Express.js because it is a well established web framework in the Node.js ecosystem, since the early days. But Fastify also joined the OpenJS Foundation which means it is also serious.

Dependabot Landing Page

Dependabot

Automated dependency updates for your Ruby, Python, JavaScript, PHP, .NET, Go, Elixir, Rust, Java and Elm.

I believe you got a rough idea of what needed to be done. Clearly I updated all dependencies that Leon relies on. Of course I could make use of tools such as Dependabot but I preferred to update everything manually. It allowed me to have a better control of what I was doing and see if each dependency still has its seat in the project. Most of all, and this is only my own opinion, I prefer to keep dependency updates as a one-shot task instead of having noises in pull requests.

CircleCI

CircleCI gives web developers powerful Continuous Integration and Deployment with easy setup and maintenance.

Until a while I was always using CircleCI for my projects as I think it is doing a great job for CI and CD.

Browserify Landing Page

Browserify

Browserify lets you require('modules') in the browser by bundling up all of your dependencies.
Pricing:
- Open Source
The web app was using some Node.js features and Browserify. This is an unnecessary layer in our case. I wanted every feature be natively supported by the browsers as upcoming clients will also be natively supported by their respected platform.

Babel

Babel is a compiler for writing next generation JavaScript.
Pricing:
- Open Source
While Babel is an awesome JavaScript compiler, I was considering to drop it. Leon does not need to be ahead of current specifications, I felt it was a good choice to drop dependencies related to Babel as it'd lighten the dependency tree (which means faster install, less maintenance work and less potential security issue).
