   Hoping to experiment with some of that soon. I implemented "x new comments" for Hacker New as a userscript [1]. Thinking of doing something similar by having new comments add themselves as "new" if you're already on

   Here's another React version which also does comments (and allows you to fold them - I needed to write a userscript for that before!). It's using react-router to switch between top stories, comments, individual comment and user pr

    Are you using strict mode? It doesn't fall back to the global object as `this` (except for setTimeout/setInterval, which are specified that way) - since I've started using it, I find out pretty quickly if I was missing a `.bi

    This is exactly why JSX is such a big win for this method of creating content - it's just sugar for the same function calls, but expressed in a form we're already used to multiply-nesting, with closing tags to help keep context a
