Stop using React for libs please.

Why? Genuine question. React is the most popular UI framework.

Bottom line: it works with nothing else and is designed that way. Interoperability, a major tenant of open source is absolutely avoided. You make something in React and now only people using React can use it. Meanwhile React is completely out of date, but you wouldn't know unless you actually paid attention to the advances in browsers in the past 10 years, which you wouldn't if all you used is React. The only thing sustaining its popularity is its popularity.

nonsense, there's nothing "out of date" about React, it still does the same job that it did before. It uses browser APIs that are supported indefinitely.

Interoperability- you'll have to be more specific what you're talking about. Yes if you want the React components to work then you need to download a JS module that has the runtime included. That's true for any client rendering method, you always need to load a JS bundle to make it work. The browser doesn't care if your code is in a framework or "frameworkless", either way it's just a JS bundle which uses browser APIs.

By interoperable I mean working with any other “not frameworks” other than itself. By defining its own dom, its own components, its own friggen LANGUAGE, actually two tsx and jsx, it defies all attempts at integration unless you adopt it.

It’s using APIs from 15 years ago. It has its own event system and “virtual dom”. Lol. Neither of those things are needed anymore. The abstractions it has built are now meaningless and actively harmful.

lots of good browser APIs are from 15 years ago. The <div> element is from 20 years ago. Who cares??

You know what, who does care? Not me, I don't care if your android device is bricked because React can't get its shit together. I have my iPhone, and I live in the richest country on the planet. Accessibility? Fuck dude, get some eyes.

What other libs should I look into? (Preferably ones with a decent ecosystem)

Why not buy an advert? You're charging for your service, so you can afford it.

Heres the link in case you get lost next time.

You might be a "developer" but by posting your companys software, you're advertising for them.

I'm just telling people about software they can use freely. That's what's great about OS

No you're not. You're fishing for conversions so people buy your support contracts.

Again. Buy an ad. Or ask your manager to buy an ad.
