Rewrite in React or Preact

[aviaryan]

For a single page app like this, using React or Preact will be the best.
You can also use modern technologies like Webpack for app bundling.

PS - This can be done once we have reached a stable set of features in the current version.

Yes, will definitely change the technology stack.
Appreciate the suggestion. 👍

I'd love to start rewriting this in React/Preact, at least as a proof-of-concept. Do you have any preference as to which lib (React or Preact)? Also, do you have a preference as to a build system (create-react-app, Next.js, nwb, etc.)?

[anshumanv]

Thanks @filoxo for contributing here !
I'm a bit familiar with react so go with it.
Also no personal preferences for a build system, use whichever is suitable to you 👍

[anshumanv]

Do you have any preferences for this @aviaryan ?

[aviaryan]

@anshumanv React from my side. Though VueJS is interesting too.

[anshumanv]

Yeah VueJS is popular among developers now a days @aviaryan .
Let's go for react then @filoxo , you can get started when you like 😄

While I haven't done anything in Vue yet, I have been wanting to try it out. It also as a pretty prolific community around it, has similar build tools (vue-cli, nuxt.js), has similar state management libs (vuex), and great documentation. I don't think this would be a bad choice.
Ultimately you'll be the ones to maintain it so whatever you decide I'm totally on board with. I'll go ahead with React for now. I think the app is small enough that it wouldn't be hard to pivot at a later point.

Thanks so much @filoxo ! 😄
Perhaps what are your views on carrying this out on a separate repo (to keep the workplace clean and isolated) ?

[filoxo]

Sure, another repo would be fine. I had already created a separate branch on my fork, but whatever works best for you.

[anshumanv]

Have added you in the repo @filoxo , please check invite.
Let's follow up there. 😄
