Yeah, there really is _no_ absolute "authoritative" way to do things in the React world. People use React to write complete SPAs with server rendering and client-side routing, and the latest build tools. People also use React to add a few widgets to existing static HTML, or with no build tools at all. They use it for developing web applications, native applications, and for really crazy stuff like creating sample-driven music, presentations, and driving hardware. So, what would "authoritative" docs look like, given those wide varieties of use cases? The closest thing there is at the moment is the Create-React-App tool, which is deliberately opinionated about setting up a build tool system with certain behaviors, but is otherwise unopinionated about all other libraries and file structures you might choose to pull in. The core React team is pretty small - currently like 7 people. They have to split their time between actually working on the library, and dealing with Facebook's internal needs. On top of that, the way Facebook uses React is going to be different than the way much of the community uses React, due to Facebook's unique and specific infrastructure. For lists: yeah, there's some other useful lists out there. I actually point to them in the "Community Resources" category of my list. There was an issue discussing a possible new "Learning Resources" section for the React docs as part of the docs revamp ( https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/7117 https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/7117 ), which bogged down a bit due to concerns about endorsing specific libraries. There's currently an open issue regarding further additions to the docs that looks like a request for the community to contribute sections on specific topics ( https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/8060 https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/8060 ). As for my own list: I put multiple hours into updating it every week, between reading articles, evaluating them, and categorizing them. I won't say I've read every word of every article, but I've definitely looked at each and every article in the list and determined that it's relevant and of good quality. Beyond that, I'd say that the nearly 6000 stars are a reasonable indicator that a lot of people are finding my list useful.
