Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. It seems like you can only implement React using the full "modern JS stack", i.e. Node/Webpack/... So if you want to use it on one page, it's a hard sell to set up all th

Good on you for being able to focus on the opportunity. Too many developers are discouraged when inheriting a legacy app. Nobody wants to be a turd polisher, but like you said, that just means there's even more opportunity for improvem
