Nice one Daniel!

I can say about myself that I’m too in the process of transitioning to React.

I found out React to have one major setback, especially where your app supposed to be lightweight (like a widget).. The React and ReactDOM libraries really buff your project total weight. Even after optimizations, the best result I got to in terms of file size is 230KB.

Then I investigated a little more and found out a few articles about it:

React Replacements:

Preact

Inferno
