A big challenge I'm seeing is when it comes to tests. Even though it is documented in the contribution guide and - I'd like to think - fairly easy to get running (Clone, `npm i`, `npm test`) many first time bug-fixes or features d

Express claims to be a "Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for Node.js" so we decided that minimal fits well because Feathers at it's core is just a very small extension to and in the spirit (or so we'd like t
