A gentle request: if you author something like this and you put time into making it so that somebody finding it can learn about it, please also consider explaining what the intent and expected outcome of that project is.
What's unclear is why I should consider it over an alternative, and if indeed the authors think I should. Also, is it an experiment in the sense that it's a learning opportunity for the author, or does somebody think a serious advancement is being made?
Without answering these questions, it's hard or impossible to know in what context I would want to use this.
Now, this doesn't matter for every project, but I say this here since it's clear that effort has been put into making this approachable for somebody with no context.
The more general lesson here is that people don't just want to know what your project is. They also want to know if they should be using it. If you want your project to be used, one of the easiest things you can do is explain what problem your project solves and why somebody with that problem should use your project.
- brachi 7y agoAgree, I'm not exactly sure what it does. Maybe a link to what a 'hook' is in this context might help.
- csande17 7y agoA "hook" is a kind of special function you can call from within a React component to store state, perform side-effects, and so on: https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-intro.html https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-intro.html
- gridlockd 7y agoThis is one of those things where if you have to ask, it's probably not useful for you. If you have used both WebGL and React, it's obvious why this is an interesting experiment. This is also what bothers me about reading academic papers. Generally, the set of people who both need the introduction and who can make use of the contents of the paper is an empty set.
- JasonSage 7y agoThat's a bit presumptuous. As is my case, you can have real use cases for WebGL and React and have worked with them, yet still want answers to those questions.
- tluyben2 7y agoThere are already a few people here in your set in this case including me; although I am not really fan of the ‘React should power all’ movement (it is quite painful, like [0]) but this can be interesting for a more beginner crowd if it has more details.
