What I can find on "Hey" so far looks extremely basic as far as UI goes.
And by all means, if what you're building only requires a very basic UI—absolutely go for it.
My argument is that when you're faced with is an intrinsically difficult UI problem, React (or similar FRP-inspired frameworks which the community has stabilized around) is a huge improvement over the "simpler" past way of doing it. And the only way to really understand that is to try building non-trivial applications with both.

- westoncb 5y agoI mean, am I mistaken? Is the UI more complex than it looks or something? I'm just basing my comment off what I've been able to find through your reference. If there is some new system that's a genuine improvement over React and kin I'd love to know about it.
- Scarblac 5y agoGenerally speaking, simple UI sounds like something to aim for. If your UI is "intrinsically difficult", there's a high risk the user will conclude the same thing.
- rat9988 5y agoUsually the difficulty of a user to conceptualize something has nothing to do with the complexity of the code.
- westoncb 5y agoNot intrinsically difficult to use, I mean that the problems involved in implementing some ui concept may be intrinsically difficult or not (this can happen even when from the user's perspective the UI is simple/elegant). When they are, then you need appropriate tools. And yes absolutely as I’ve said, if it’s possible to for some domain to have a basic ui do that.
