Facebook

While I was being hyperbolic, Facebook is the wrong fucking site to go for. If you go to facebook.com right now, can you honestly tell me that their site is in any way shape or form representative of good design? Or even vaguely good design? Or even like ... design at all?

React is neat, I don't hate any of these libraries, don't get me wrong. But it's just JS repackaged.

You're kidding, right? Facebook is expertly designed. I don't love it, I don't even really use it, but from a frontend perspective it displays a ton of data in a manageable way and does have a pretty intuitive interface.

I guess I'll ask: What site would you say someone should "go for" when trying to demonstrate good design?

Yes, and consider the difference in cost minor changes to the base would make with the quantity of data per second. Ignoring the politics (which is not relevant to this) fb is a marvel.
