“Build Features, Not Folders”: Scalable React Architecture

🚨 Most frontend projects don’t fail because of bad code.

They fail because of chaotic structure. After working on real-world apps with growing teams and evolving features, I’ve realized:
_how you structure your project determines how fast (or slow) your team moves. _

That’s why I wrote this new article: 👉 “Build Features, Not Folders”: Scalable React Architecture for Frontend System Design Link

I go into: Why file-based routing isn’t enough for serious apps The power of feature-first thinking How to design folders that scale with your team A simple diagram that makes things click.

This is Week 1 of a new series I’m writing — designed to help frontend engineers write cleaner, more scalable code. 🧠 If you're building with React, Next.js, Remix or Expo — this is for you.
