Pretty much yes. I'm a C++ programmer that barely knows javascript that is using React to build a UI for a product. It's complete magic to me and I have no idea how it works. I haven't seen any deep documentation anywhere that would give me more insight that I have now. shrug

For starters, I'd suggest going through Rodrigo Pombo's walkthrough "Build Your Own React" [0], my post "A (Mostly) Complete Guide to React Rendering Behavior" [1], Dan Abramov's treatise "A Complete Guide to `useEffect`" [2], and Shawn Wang's talk "Getting Closure on Hooks" [3]. I also have additional links on both React's internals [4] and React hooks specifically [5] that should be useful.

    Sure. If you've got any other specific questions, let me know and I can try to point to some relevant resources.

  Is there any other way to save comments in your history besides commenting on them?

    I don't think it's just the extension I'm using, but every comment should have a 'favorite' link?
