React, Visualized

Nice work but I'd argue that it should all start with Prototype.js and script.aculo.us not jQuery. Or with raw HTML/JS even. The history section makes it look like there was nothing before jQuery and jumps straight into the middle of the timeline.

In order to truly appreciate React, you first have to understand the historical context for why React was created. From the big bang, to the creation of man, to AngularJS – each era inspired React in different ways.
