Are there any actual examples of full-fledged isomorphic React applications? All the examples I've seen are toys. I mean isomorphic routing, flux architecture

  I recently published an isomorphic React / Flux demo which features all of the above, including progressive enhancement and document title management. https://github.com/chadpaulson/react-isomorphic-video-game-search https://github.com/chadpaulson/react-isomorphic-video-game-s... That said, I am currently working on a more refined approach to isomorphic flux and async in a new project that I hope to open source later.

    Hey Chad, What do you use https://github.com/andreypopp/react-async https://github.com/andreypopp/react-async for? I was trying to wrap my head around that the read the warning: "WARNING: Keeping data in React component's state is a bad idea. React component's state is for purely UI state, like "if this dropdown openned or closed?". In light of that, React Async is an anti-pattern so you shouldn't use it unless you are 100% sure you need it"

      Using react-async allowed me to make an aysnc request to an API before initializing the component and setting initial state. The library also enables the client to bootstrap / hydrate initial state generated on the server. I am currently working on a new project utilizing different modules (alt instead of reflux and react-router instead of react-router-component) which does not utilize react-async.
