> Well, yea, but that's the point of my whole comment - Node could have a Django or Rails equivalent after ten years, don't you think? It's not that such a thing hasn't been developed, but that by the time such a thing gets developed (for example: [0]), NodeJS devs have already decided they don't like gulp (even though just last week gulp was the new thing vs. grunt), they like webpack; they don't like AngularJS, they like React (or VueJS now); etc. Almost feels like the JS ecosystem is plagued by people who want to rise to dev stardom by making the next big framework, and they spend a LOT of time trying to convince people their thing is the next best thing since sliced bread. I've seen grown up devs abandon stacks that were perfectly fine to spend years migrating to the new thing — granted this happens more at larger companies where resu

Work backwards. Start with tools that basically do all your work for you, and then try to understand the pieces as you work with them. Try the angular-fullstack generator using yeoman: https://github.com/angular-fullstack/generator-angular-fulls... This will generate you a fully functioning front end and server, with an authentication and user management service. It also has methods to push to heroku, so you don't really need to know how to deploy to a live server.
In React-Boilerplate v3: The “JS Fatigue Antivenin” Edition
One of the best starting points for building a SPA that I've seen is the Angular Fullstack generator https://github.com/DaftMonk/generator-angular-fullstack This generator uses Angular best practices, has Jasmine and Karma built in for solid unit and integration (called e2e tests in Angular) testing. The built-in generators even build pages, controllers, and add the unit test files along with the new routes. In addition, authentication via Passport.js is in the box. In my opinion it's an easy to extend, robust solution for building a non-trivial SPA. Even has hooks for easy deployment to Heroku. That being said, I have been trying to learn React lately and have yet to find a similar thing for a React-based stack.
In Ask HN: Can you suggest some good JavaScript projects to read and learn?
JWTs seem really great to handle auth on single page apps with APIs, but I don't quite understand something yet: What is the best and recommended way to implement a "remember me" feature? I'm using the "angular-fullstack" yeoman generator (https://github.com/DaftMonk/generator-angular-fullstack) which uses your npm packages, but it lacks of a feature like that, and the app is pretty much unusable, user must log in every time after closing the browser...
