Hi, I've thought a classroom with master students in computer science Mithril and we've found that the tutorials on your Homepage aren't easy to follow. A girl for example wanted to follow the tutorial 1:1 but found herself stuck, we know that the code at the bottom of the page worked, however I would heartly support you and your framework more, if there were easier to follow tutorials, more examples, integrations into build systems etc.

The topic of my talk and excercises was building & scaling modern web apps. That's we used:

React, Yeoman, Mimosa.io, Swagger, Strongloop, Redhat OpenShift, Microsoft Azure and VisualOps.io to quickly build a build framework, deployment targets and a workflow for a 'large' sample application and develop modules for the web app that consumes other APIs.

We've also used Mimosa.io and Yeoman and have followed the tutorials on their websites and were very pleasantly surprised. Especially the tutorial on Yeoman's site was stellar. I think integrating Mithril with both of these frameworks with one empty and one opiniated boilerplate to quickstart into coding without having to create the js/css/html files by hand would be more practical to follow by total newcomers. It would also fit the keyword "modern" in my talk more than having to do it by hand.

Thank you for taking the time to read this far! You're invited to a cool and chilled beer (or coffe), when you have the pleasure to visit Germany :)
