I used to be a stranger to this topic, but I have learned a couple of things that might be helpful to you. Let’s dive in.
Intro
At the end, every animation will happen changing some CSS property at some moment in time.
Using “transition” and “animation” CSS properties you can achieve simple animations:
From there, the limit is #sky. Really.
Try playing around with “transition” and “animation” properties. …
Deep links allow to share your content with your users with the best experience possible
Two days ago I was building a website for one of my side projects — a mobile phone app to meet people to play board games with — and I wanted to create links to its social medias. I created some nice looking icons and pointed the href attribute to the different accounts and voilà !
Yet, when later tested them on mobile phones my Twitter app wasn’t opening when I would click the link. That’s usually a big barrier for people to follow you because they don’t use to be already logged in their browsers when they have the app installed. …

After my first two “projects” I was hungry of more challenges. I definitely didn’t know what to do next, but I decided that whatever I would do should be useful for future projects.
I ended up choosing a carousel-like menu navigation that many applications use. Funnily, I realized later that Youtube mobile application (which I use almost everyday) has that exact system. …

Now that we have the environment ready and we know about Webpack, Babel and npm, time to start coding!
When I faced this situation one month ago I felt like there were tons of good examples done step by step with meaningful explanations (contrary to good environment set up guides). But you know what is frequently said: it is better to have 3 basic choices than 20 specific…

If you have not read the Part 0: Background, I highly recommend you to do it before reading this one to know a bit about myself and how I approached this.
When I discovered React my first react-ion (okay, not best joke ever) was to figure out what this library built by Facebook is and what does it solve. …
Introduction
Welcome to this series of articles I named “How I fell in love with React” where I’ll share with you everything I’ve learnt in my first month using React.
Before starting I want to add that this is my first series of articles. Aswell as this is my first Medium article ever. But I’ve read plenty of them in the last months with the goal of learning how people actually share their experiences and knowledge. Also, I’m not a React expert yet so don’t expect perfect code or think that all I say is 100% right.
This being said, I hope you’ll enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it. …
