"Orca can capture about 4,000 tons of carbon per year (for scale, that’s equal to the annual emissions of 790 cars). Now Climeworks is building another facility that makes Orca see…

Very cool. We do something very similar on Instacart's site. Our main Redux store and header component track window size and scroll position so that all components on the site have…

For now we use Rails on the server and a single backbone router for the the client side. This isn't how we want it stay. :) We do have a couple side apps internally using React Rou…

That is definitely one limiting aspect for some places. We actually have a similar issue, since we're a Rails shop first and foremost. Luckily there are a few tools we can use to m…

Great point. This has to be the funniest and most confusing bug when you first encounter it! If your list is totally static, an index will do the job. However, we usually end up ap…

We've slowly been growing our React presence on the site for almost a year now. At this point, we're fairly close to the size of the original Backbone app as far as views are conce…

This should really only be an issue when the children of an element are all the same type of element and are at the same depth level. For example, this is very common for li elemen…

The backbone model api was made with totally mutable data in mind. React, on the other hand, only works well with immutable props and some mutable state in the top levels of compon…

Yes and no, really. We mostly keep our backbone models as props and keep them immutable by pure convention. You really could just call set() on one of them and cause some problems.…

Yep, it was the actual Flux library. However, we're not totally settled on that choice just yet.

Definitely agree. In our real code we're much more sensitive of performance. This was just a quick way to show a simple way Backbone can be used with React. I think it'd be interes…

Whoops! Fixed in the repo now. I can't seem to edit the title of the HN article anymore. Must be past a certain time or something.

Calling it an MVC may be a misnomer, definitely. I know backbone often refers to itself as MV*, which is sort of funny. :) Thanks for checking it out! I'll put some thought into th…

Yeah, for sure. I mostly started this to see if I can get a Backbone-like MVC without the heavy dependencies of jQuery/underscore/lodash/etc. The DOM selection stuff is also done r…

Yeah, I think the example itself is not a great pattern. :) If I were to redo that example, or do another example completely, I'd probably move a lot of that logic stuff into the m…

Why? - Tiny footprint for mobile networks (~5kb minified). - Extremely fast DOM query/selection engine. No need for jQuery! - Mobile first - no legacy hackery for ie - Great for sp…

Interview Cake is great: https://www.interviewcake.com/

Loved Masters of Doom. I reread that one every once in a while as sort of reminder. It's an easy enough read that rereading it is fun.

The site looks great, and I think a lot of people would want something like this. You've mentioned in other comments that you're hoping to get some kind of interest going. That, wi…

"For example: more men than women in the U.S. are raped" Where does this stat come from? Most stats I've seen on this issue say that about 9/10 sexual assaults are crimes against w…

There must be some kind of study about businesses that are loyal to employees and loud about that loyalty. How does that affect their bottom line? Do customers/clients choose to do…

Cool idea and it looks very nice. After scrolling for a bit the first things I wanted to know were "How much?", which you have covered, and "Can I see a demo site?", which seems to…
