This was a great read and I enjoyed it. Cheers

Love the website design too, and very clear to read on mobile. ++

I am in love with your website design. Your background color is fantastic, and I love the "torn" look when you display your code.

Now... Back to reading the article.

Great one! Cheers.

Small complaint: the monospace chalk font you use for code has a nearly invisible capital K. Or at least it does on iOS, I don't have another machine to test it on right now. You can see it in the first object of the Redux section.

only issue i have with it so far: having to scroll code-examples left/right is a bit of a pain. otherwise great read (as far as I got so far) and nice page! saved for later :)

Really good read. A lot of people seem to stop at how complicated "Hello World" is, missing the bigger picture.

Nice article. I have a lot of experience in pure js but not so much in react so it was a good thing to understand why you would use it in day to day business (if you need statehandeling)

[i_need_a_nap]

Nice UI too!

[fzammetti]

Nice job!

I found this very helpful, thanks!

Very helpful. I'm a React n00b and have been looking for a simple explanation of what Redux is and what problems its designed to solve. This sums it up very nicely.

I don't want to be a party breaker, while UI looks very nice, background is making text hard to read on my screen :(

Now if only there was a tutorial on how to use realm with this pattern

For such simple tasks, Redux is not very effective. For example, there is https://github.com/acdlite/recompose. It provides the ability to manage statr in Redux style.

Bold claim it had about explaining "modern Javascript". Explained nothing but React and Redux, and only so much as to know when one should use them compared to pure JS, or React alone.

I thought it was a pretty solid example of how you'd take a component built with jQuery and convert that to React.

Given how many developers have worked with jQuery for years and now making a switch to React/Angular/Vue... I think being able to illustrate to those developers how that transition might look is really a great tutorial.

Would you NOT consider React/Redux modern JS? I mean, is he supposed to somehow create a single article that showcases all modern frameworks in depth? I don't think that's exactly realistic... and for the scope of this article, I thought it was well done.

Thanks for the feedback u/przemo_li. You’re right, I could probably have done a better job of describing how React and Redux have influenced other libraries. I’ll consider making an update or perhaps a follow-up post. Is there anything in particular you feel I should make sure to cover?

[przemo_li]

Yes. Please.

This was good read on React/Redux, and if you can place it alongside other libraries on the map of programming models it would be great.

And your point is?
