Re: Don't React
#2With all the hype going around for React, I wouldn't mean getting the opinion of some other fellow front-end peers to see what their 2 cents are with this. I will say I honestly haven't looked into React enough to make a good call if this slideshow holds up or not. React does seem to be riding the hype train pretty fast, though.

What an awful UI decision. I wouldn't have even noticed it.
EDIT: This apparently wasn't intended to be navigated by the general public, as explained by a comment below.

Space seems to work as well.
I love it when a page telling you not to use something fails at UX.

Thank you ... I thought this was an example of minimalist design (without flatness)!
After entering the presentation, arrow keys work too.

My experience with React has been great. And my opinion of the slides is that, yes, someone can use react in an "interactive" style. But the one example is just that, an example. I have found that it is really simple to adopt a strictly reactive method.
To give some background, I started with virtual-dom when we were transitioning away from angular. I built a bunch of "proof of concepts" with it, and tried to build out a micro-framework around it for our company. Then we had a quick meeting where we presented quickly on react, mithril and my homebrew. The guy who did the react example had done it in like 20 minutes, and it was WAY more elegant.
So my point here is that, yes, virtual-dom is a great project, but it just doesn't have the "full package" like react. So we chose react and haven't looked back.

Left and Right arrow key works as well.

#9TL;DR: React sucks. React isn't "reactive". Oh, and check out this reactive framework he has been working on: https://github.com/staltz/cycle

Arrow keys work for navigation.
