• What is React?

  • A component-based architecture
  • A declarative approach to building UIs
• Strengths
  • Community
    • Most popular front-end framework
  • Ecosystem
• Weaknesses
  • Un-opinionated
    • As an individual contributor, this can be liberating. But as a team, it is a challenge.
• Alternatives
  • Vue
  • Svelte
  • Solid/Qwik
  • JavaScript/Web Components (e.g. Lit)
• Recommendations
  • Statically generate as much as possible
  • Server-side render the rest
  • Ensure client-side interactivity has a fallback
  • If you're going to use React
    • Use a framework
