Is there a reason why the file size has exploded? react.min.js is now 145.4kb. For comparioson, angular.min.js is 155.2kb. One of React's biggest selling points was that it was much smaller than Angular/Ember/Backbone etc, bu

Looks like this wasn't ready to be revealed, like someone accidently made the repo public. The website is currently not public so I'm not going to try anything yet but as a co-foudner at an CS Ed-tech startup I'm going to kee

i actually went through this debate a few days ago when deciding what to use for realtine updates on our new platform. I had previously used socket.io but decided I'd try just using straight websockets and not bothering backporting rea
