2 years and a huge team cost this company a million dollars. Doing this in html would take $5,000 at most. Hiring for react is expensive. Hiring for basic html very cheap with large pools of candidates.
- Graffur 5y agoI don't disagree that this could be done with HTML but 2 considerations: 1) It did not take 2 years, a huge team and a million dollars because of React. Like I said React is just using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. 2) You're assuming the requirements will stay that simple. Maybe the person making the decisions has better insight than you? Soon the feature set could add: * A notifications area to show the user when a new document is added * A search feature to find documents * A parameterized reporting tool * An admin backend * Restricted access based on user type
