Generating and Working With ScriptPubKeys in Bitcoin Transactions
As mentioned previously, ScriptPubKeys are scripts that embody the locking conditions of bitcoins in a Bitcoin transaction. They are a crucial element of a Bitcoin transaction that specifies the requirements that must be met before an unspent transaction output (UTXO) is used. The ScriptPubKey, combined with the Amount, creates an output of a Bitcoin transaction. Like every other script, ScriptPubKeys are made up of operators and data. During the encoding of a transaction, both data and the operands are represented in hexadecimal format. You can find the hex representation for all operands used in Bitcoin Scripts here.

Introducing BitcoinJS Wallet
Inspired by the popular Coinb.in open source wallet and powered by bitcoinjs-lib, my hot wallet is designed to provide a secure and easy-to-use experience while also adding unique features that make it stand out from the competition. It will be installable (PWA) and very easy to use (BEGINNER FRIENDLY). I'm also going to make it open source. Other cool features like an HD wallet option with auto-change address after every transaction, increasing security and anonymity, are on the roadmap.

Doge-ETH Bridge: Latest News
The only interaction I had with that development team (at least I think it was that team) is that they were looking for a JS lib to do front-end transaction creation, and I pointed them to bitcoinjs-lib. Haven't heard anything after that.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Bitcoin and BitcoinJS you can also consider the following projects:
