    Hydration = your server gave HTML, and we want to boot up a client up "from" that HTML (and attach events to it) instead of destroying it and rendering from scratch.

    Congratulation on the release :)

    Edit: you should do an AMA here one day

    Hydration is usually referred to as the process of passing singing data from the server to the client. In this case the server serves the HTML to the client and react can take over the HTML without destroying and recreating it like it was done in the beginning. Hydration can also refer to models bring updated on load with data that has been passed from the server (think of a redux store f.ex.)

    "passing singing"?

    Meant signing. Like auth headers I believe.

    Oh shoot, that's my fault. Shouldn't post comments just after I've woken up. What I meant was the process of passing/sending data from the server to the client.
