What is this "components"? I can't find anywhere that explains what it is. Is it just a random collection of javascript utilities?

It's an isolated collection of HTML, js, and scss to achieve a thing. Like a credit card payment form.

They're mainly for react, though other platforms have them (eg, I use 'ractive', from the guardian, which has its own component model).

Go check out npm, there are a while bunch of react components you can just pick up and use.

It was like browserify before browserify. It was a TJ project that was abandoned and replaced by Duo.

CBP (component based programming) has been around (at least the idea has) since the 60s. It is the holy grail of some developers; being able to compose apps from a collection of components that work everywhere. I don't believe anyone has ever truly reached that goal. But surely it'll work this time because of JavaScript.
