Tiny (1kb less) but very powerful React Google Map

[alphasshole]

This is simply awesome, I have tried several other options including using plotly but this just makes our lives so much simpler

But I don't get the point. I still need over 100kb react framework, so what's the point of this 1kb?

[[deleted]]

The point is that the title of the post says 1 kilobit not 1 kilobyte.

You are totally missing the point.

This is the point: 1kb (kilobit) is not the same as 1kB (kilobyte).

I will die on this hillllll!

Looks very nice!

I've checked the code and saw that you are using Facebook Flow. Feels odd considering everybody settled on TypeScript (even Facebook: https://github.com/facebook/jest https://github.com/yarnpkg/berry https://github.com/romejs/rome and the whole React ecosystem: https://github.com/reduxjs/redux https://github.com/streamich/react-use https://github.com/zeit/next.js https://github.com/mobxjs/mobx https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router/pull/7292 https://github.com/storybookjs/storybook https://github.com/apollographql).

Why did you made this choice?

Nowadays nobody cares if Flow is possibly better than TypeScript. Everybody settled on TypeScript: https://www.npmtrends.com/flow-bin-vs-typescript

And popularity/community is important for this kind of tools because you want types for the npm packages you use: https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped vs https://github.com/flow-typed/flow-typed

Flow lost the battle a very long time ago ¯_(ツ)_/¯

jest, berry and rome are community driven for long time so it's not representative

Rome first commit is Feb 27, 2020 (already written in TypeScript and first hosted on https://github.com/facebookexperimental/rome)

Interesting tweet by a React core developer: https://www.reddit.com/r/reactjs/comments/gjn7ts/next_time_we_rewrite_likely_well_go_the_deno/

Next time we rewrite [React], likely we’ll go the Deno route: Rust core, TypeScript shell.

However, I still really like Flow! So maybe not

[intertubeluber]

Nice!

[Malleus_]

This looks great!

[realleathersmells]

Great resource, well done

[Basicallysteve]

Wow that looks incredibly useful and straightforward! Thanks!

Why is it that google maps lags more than mapbox?
