We use Preact, but right now it's pretty much being used for the onboarding process only. We're mostly a Ruby on Rails app, believe it or not πŸ˜‰

@ben wrote two posts about it, in case you want to dig deeper:

So, as others have mentioned, we do use Preact, but right now we only use it for a few specific cases. 90% of the frontend is still vanilla JS.

According to it.... yes it does use React.js

Think your gut was right this time. The app is pretty on point, too, though.
