(disclaimer: I am the author of bluebird)

Thank you.

I must say the most prominent feature of bluebird has always been "debuggability" (not perf). Long stack traces, unhandled rejection reporting and warnings for many of the mistakes you cover (coming in 3.0, some of them listed at http://imgur.com/a/t3xng) are just priceless, especially when working with people who are not promise ninjas.



Those new warnings are FANTASTIC.

That's exactly what I meant when I said it's better for your tools to warn you, rather than trying to read and understand some lengthy article. :)

BTW for PouchDB, we use bluebird in Node and lie in the browser, and bluebird has been truly indispensable for debugging. Looking forward to it getting even better!


If you have a suggestion for warnings please open an issue https://github.com/petkaantonov/bluebird/issues

If you want to contribute we'd love docs contributions as you clearly have good technical writing. Here are the 3.0 docs (currently under work) https://github.com/petkaantonov/bluebird/tree/3.0docs/docs/d... any help with pages that explain promises conceptually (anti patterns page etc) would be highly appreciated.


I've got my hands pretty full with Pouch, but I'll take a look! :) Thanks.
