This is awesome. Very interested in Aurelia at the moment. How long have you been using Aurelia and how comfortable do you feel with it? I'm coming from an Angular and Vue background. Anything that might give me a hard time picking it up?

Thanks very much. I've been using it for a few months now, various closed source projects and finally found a good idea to open-source and demonstrate what I've learned.

Coming from Angular 1.x is a very natural progression (and TypeScript makes you wonder how you survived with ES5...). I briefly tried Vue and was not at all keen on shoving logic & presentation markup all in one file.

The only thing I've found troublesome is how spread the modules are. The router, the templating, etc is all separate from the framework - which is obviously good design but leaves you to piece together the bits you actually need yourself. Other than that the standard things like DI, Routing, Custom elements, are all implemented to an amazing standard by the Aurelia team.
