I don't know much about React, but I look at projects on github all the time and you nailed everything here. Demo right up front, well organized & well written docs, tests passing. Fantastic job!

As a mod - how much time do you commit to this? Are you just sitting there reading comments all day? I'm fascinated by this whole mods thing especially since it's volunteer (!!) work - which strikes me as insane.
