Any data-heavy applications that have significant grouping/filtering/etc.. SQL is very powerful, and when you try to work with large datasets in the browser, its kind of disappointing that you have to either transfer a lot of data

I agree--I think that there are problems deeper than special interests. It would take many years and many people in different parts of government, but I think the real solution is a movement to a multi-party system. One person elected as pr

There is some amount of boilerplate with rolling your own, but I think people might benefit from rolling their own flux implementation when they first try to play with react. The best solution I think for this is to have multiple dispatches

If you're interested in Polymer just for its material design, you can use React just the same with something like Materialize. There are also projects like MaterialUI which might be worth looking at. Forgetting the question about Mater

There was a time when React literally just didn't support web components, so I don't think that's really fair. Yes, it would be nice if it worked completely free, but if you're only listening to 2 or 3 events on a compon

You're wrong about web components and react. As of 0.12, if you register a web component like you normally would, you can reference it in a react component. React no longer has a white list, and instead assumes all lower case tags are

I've had a lot of trouble finding out what people are thinking about the comparison between shadow dom/web components and react. If web components are finalized and ubiquitous, how does that effect react?

I agree that having this issue dominate discussion is incredibly annoying, however I have to say, Facebook needs to make this more clear. There should not be confusion about this.

I think reading through Flux framework documentations (marty's for instance) helps a lot. They do some abstracting on top and let you avoid some more in-depth questions about how to implement framework level features. They offer you so
