Integrating React into an MPA is quite awkward, surprised this is the target audience for it.
I love the potential of web development but of recent, it's been infected by hype-marketing and blog-engineering.
I get that it's become very accessible to write web applications and that's good for the growth of the platform - but it almost feels like this accessibility has led it to squander its potential in pursuit of unsophisticated and unambitious objectives.
Web developers today are distracted by premature over-optimisations (ignoring effective low effort optimisations) and language+platform features that are a great, but kinda useless from a project development standpoint (time/money/complexity/collaborative capacity cost).
As a result, platform developers are distracted implementing features that don't innovate the platform - so we sit and wait for the truly groundbreaking things that never come because we gotta discuss the pipe operator, or adding types to the JavaScript language specification.
Meanwhile projects that can't wait for the platform to evolve flood us with Electron apps that everyone hate.
I have hope, kinda...
