Have you ever, by coincidence, used Phabricator? If so, what's your opinion of it? I've used Phabricator full-time for a while and it's been really a joy.

In React.js, you can serialize your whole app state through a simple ˋJSON.stringify` and base64 encode that into the url. The nice property of that is that you get to pass that url around to friends, and when they click on it they'll

I don't think it has to do with router; just pure, simple state (router is just another part of a component state anyways). For your example, I think it should support both. You can distinguish an A from another A through a different k

There's been a few React animation experiments (including my own: https://github.com/chenglou/react-tween-state ), but I think there are two main problems here and this library, albeit nice, is mingling the two: -

(React dev here) I myself have been guilty of spreading this "React is just the view" mentality as an easy argument to convince people to try it. However, in reality, you can't really compare framework X's view with Reac

No, this isn't a React render issue (and React render in general doesn't have this issue. Put a `key` on your component and everything will work correctly). If the item isn't changed then its DOM representation isn't tou

I don't want to go further into a language/library/ecosystem war here. Glad to talk more about it on #reactjs though =).

I contribute to React. I'm definitely a big fan of ClojureScript and I borrow ideas from it when I can. I currently have a few crazy ideas that are direct results of looking into the Clojure (or Haskell) ecosystem and finding that they

Care to try out https://github.com/chenglou/react-tween-state ? I've been experimenting with animation in React and would love to see the general paradigm behind this and implement it in React.

No, React does internally , for the purpose of its diffing algorithm (which is subject to changes). React's public facing API does not use data-* whatsoever. As a matter of fact, storing user data in data-* attributes is unnecessary i

Is there any open source JS library for this kind of movement tracking?

It is indeed displayed on the front page, in vanilla JS, but that doesn't change the fact that it's not a very accurate comparison, providing that the point you're trying to prove is LOC. The React version also showcased attr

Comparing your CoffeeScript example against a vanilla JS React example seems cheap. here's the front page React example in CS: converter = new Showdown.converter() MarkdownEditor = React.createClass getInitialState: ()

This comparison of two-way data bindings assumes that, well, two-way data binding is the way to go. Without taking a stance on whether this is wrong or not, the usage of React here is a bit misleading. React puts emphasis on unidirectional

Shorter feedback loop is always great. Running tests in parallel is a non-brainer. Leveraging Jasmine is great too. Glad to see it's not reinventing the wheel! Here's another interesting part, on dependency injection: http:/

React is a paradigm with only one existing implementation. Ranting against frameworks represented by React is a strawman here. It doesn't include a router, nor a model layer, nor the traditional controller. It's a miracle that it&

This makes perfect sense, as Dropbox tries to be a backend to your storage rather than a frontend. Carousel is at the same time a potentially great app and an invitation to try Dropbox's API. Helps the competition to build even better

That's a good, albeit very generic argument where you can switch Angular and React with simply A and B. My guess is that you haven't tried React? It's been in production at Facebook/Instagram for a few years now and powe

Since those accounts don't really look like spam accounts, we'll take that as a compliment =). Even as a contributor, the reactions from the React users surprise me sometimes.

I have a tremendous respect for people who dare to dream big despite all cynicism and common assumptions, and especially people who have the skills to actually make the changes. Please keep doing the work you're doing.
