it often depends on the size of your team or projects, if a certain technology makes sense. would be interesting to hear more about projects that "failed" with React. So far, I have not heard many people who failed.

All this links to is a page that does nothing (tested on FF and Chrome). Is there a point this is trying to make? The link itself is meaningless. If I am missing something, kindly let me know...

It's built in some presentation framework that requires you to press spacebar to progress.

Annoying :)

It's the first slide of the slidedeck you're looking at. Press right arrow or find the link at the bottom-right of the page.

I have been programming for 30 years, 19 on the Web. I tried to learn Angular and Ember and failed, more than once. Earlier this year I had to prototype a fairly complex single page app and was severely time constrained. I tried React and succeeded beyond both my expectations and those of the client. I am in fact itching for a chance to use it again.

It's a slideshow, probably intended to accompany a presentation. I used my right and left arrow keys to navigate.

Don't break the web with your presentation framework.

Since you do, I cannot take anything you say about web development seriously.

Thank you! It would be very useful to have a simple "use arrow keys to navigate" text somewhere on the page. Just noticed that there's a "next" arrow visual indicator at the bottom right (not very visible due to color choices)
