I'm sorry, but what problem does this solve? Seems like this makes the developer experience worse in every way.


You can see many examples if you google - "How do I put react into my " Github page/Shopify/Wordpress etc.

Many developers inherit or prefer a plain page and just want to use a cool open source react component real quick like adding a slick calculator to their existing webpage.


I'm not following - even manually inserting script tags to mount the component is better than relying on another site like this to bundle it.


As said below, most common react libraries will fail if you try to just use ReactDOM. Mounting has many issues if you try it for more than the basic hello world.

Not to mention you can use multiple different versions of react with this.

Just as an example, I was trying to add this simple PinField to my wordpress page and it will break if you try to mount: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-pin-field

I'd think that would be a pretty big sign that React might not be the right tool for the job. I'm all for building custom hammers but sometimes it might just be better to just grab a screwdriver.


Also, you can just download the bundle if you want to stop using the site to host it. Personally I make enough edits I like to keep it up.


My comment wasn't a critique on your product. I can totally see how this could be handy and I'll keep it bookmarked. I was mostly critiquing that web devs nowadays always seem to try and reach out for some React package whenever they hit any sort of problem. I can see that the React packages are mandatory, any plans to support other frameworks?


Vue would be pretty easy. From personal experience it’s mostly react that’s has all these open source things someone might want. Was there one you were thinking of?


Funny enough I ran into this exact use case recently. We have a marketing site for a client done with webflow..But we needed to add a third party widget that only had an react library. So I ended up creating a CRA project so that I could include the bundled file and render the component as needed using the same setup (it was a modal + some purchase logic). Added some bare js hooks to trigger some of the logic via a button press. Worked well actually


That works, I was more responding to using this random site instead of just CRA locally. Just seems odd.


This is only true for 15 states. And half of those require you to return with an an ID for your vote to count.


I didn't realize it was so few. My own state doesn't require voter ID. However it looks like the states that require ID tend to be smaller, and many larger states don't require it. 41% of the US population live in states like California with no voter ID laws, with an additional percentage in states where a photo ID (as opposed to a bank statement or utility bill) is optional:

Pixel 5 is good, I got a 6 and returned it because it was massive. Hoping they return to this this form factor & add the rear fingerprint sensor back.


Manually editing the browser search bar isn't something a user should ever need to do.


Yet I'm constantly doing this on some of the most popular websites (eg. Amazon) to remove tracking portions and other unwanted cruft when sharing or archiving links.


You should know there are both Chrome extensions and Tampermonkey scripts for that.


Thanks! Which is your favorite?

I used to use TamperMonkey (even wrote a somewhat popular script a long time ago) and more plugins, but tired of the cognitive overhead maintaining the setup eg. every time I format/migrate, or when my browser decided to break backward compatibility, or when sites changed and the mod was no longer being updated, or when my browser got slow and I had to try and isolate which one(s) were at fault.

I'm sure the plugins are great, I just personally find it easier now to remove by hand (and other sledgehammers like disabling JavaScript altogether for the most aggregiously annoying sites).


You're right that it's annoying. I use Edge, and I think it syncs extensions now, so I haven't really had to set it up for a while, though.

I think the best one to install and forget is Tracking Token Stripper (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tracking-token-str...), but obviously it's not going to get all of them. Like, it's not continuously updated AFAIK. If you want to input the parameters it strips, then you have to use Query Stripper (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/query-stripper/cce...).

I wish its dev would create a crowdsourced list, though.

This is nice! Wish it took over tab key for indentation though.


Someone just fixed this in a PR!


> does not need a backend

GitHub issues infrastructure is a backend!


the design of this site is unreadable. skeuomorphism is a bad design pattern (blotchy paper, really?) & is distracting from the content.

good thing firefox has a reader view. but really, this sort of design should be gone by now.


  body: string 
:( it's 2019, let me write my post with photos & gifs !!



for being "cross platform" there sure are a lot of issues in Firefox. modal doesn't close, HTML editor doesn't work, etc.


All the issues mentioned here have been fixed. Thanks
