As I recall, about 2-3 years ago I had experimented with what is called the
npm install xyz
through some tutorials, etc. The objective was to improve my tooling or toolchain at least with things like css/js minification, etc. along with Bootstrap customization. The idea was to then move on to other newer learnings like react, etc.But I was soon disgruntled by the whole process! Neither bootstrap turned out to be an easy horse to tame, and NPM was like this astronomical universe of packages that keep on downloading into your folders! I soon lost taste of the whole thing and kept using my tried and tested stack of PHP scripts and using stock Bootstrap through CDNs.
But today, I want to give it another shot. Has NPM improved than earlier days? What is the best way to go about building a toolchain using it? Are there any useful guides that make the whole process easier to digest?

I'm going to be building a simple blog for myself.
Partially I just want something really simple and customizable, and also it will be a fun little programming project.
I'll be using PHP and mySQL for the backend. I won't be using any sort of framework as it shouldn't be necessary for a very simple blog. I'm fairly comfortable with JavaScript.
What I'm imagining is some sort of JavaScript library I can just download, link to my html and then turn a textarea into a simple wysiwyg editor. It could be as simple as a markdown editor or something with a little more features.
It has to be free. Open source would be a plus.
If anyone has any recommendations or advice I would be very grateful. Thanks!

What features do you want to see in a userscript manager?

I'm currently developing a minimal userscript manager who's main goal is to be fully auditable by any user in only ten minutes or so - my prototype uses less than 300 lines of javascript, and I'm trying to keep it that way.
To get the codebase this small, however, I have to be very picky with what features I implement - most notably, the code editor has to be very barebones. Are there any features that I'd be shooting myself in the foot by not including?
For example:
- syntax highlighting
- cloud sync
- regex url matching
- fullscreen editor (currently, it's just a browser popup - the intention is that you write code elsewhere and paste it in)
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
