WordPress is here with Gutenberg β itβs time to learn React.
The last two years Iβve spent with working on projects far from the edge having no time to catch up with web design and development best practices β itβs time to re-learn them.
Iβm used to feel comfortable in the wilderness. In 2015 Iβve created my own styleguide with Gulp. Then I was featured on Brutalist Websites. And I run another blog with edge on industry.
I still feel left behind.
My biggest issue is that my old framework built on BEM / SCSS / HTML5 and vanilla Javascript was all good minus the Javascript part. Iβve struggled to make things move on the screen. Yes, I needed to find something better than Javascript and thatβs how I first went to Vue, then now to React.
With these frameworks you donβt write vanilla JS code. You write strange markup and styling to declare and control the UI with minimum original Javascript. Just plumbing together what the framework offers. Thatβs what I really needed.
With Vue I was enthusiastic. It was the best and fastest way to get connected with the reactive UI world.
After a year, now, Iβm on React. I really love it. In a week Iβve managed to set up a complete Storybook, create new components the way I want, and now put together this blog in an afternoon. Thanks Gatsby!
