React allowed me to leave the service industry after a decade and a half and become a developer that works remotely from anywhere in the world. When I saw this documentary I knew I had to watch it to know more about the history of something that so drastically changed my life. Without React I wouldn't be here, so thanks to everyone that made it happen. This journey is not over yet, there's much more to come, and I'm very excited to be a part of it.

What's to be proud of? Hooks which behave differently each time you use them together? Little nuances you have to constantly remember just not to introduce a silly error? There have long been alternatives that are 10x faster and easier to work with, that require less than a week to learn entirely and even perform twice as fast in the browser. React is a relic and should be treated as such.

Thank you, Kevin, it was such a cool night!

To everyone involved: Thank you. There are many amazing things to like about this documentary, but one that strikes me most, is how different people and personalities are fundamental for every step of a success story. There's no React without the lone wolf, but neither without the first internal promoter, internal champion, internal articulator, leadership that allows it to bloom, external customer, on and on...

As a (open source) software engineer myself, the experience the React team had is what every developers hopes to achieve. Most open source projects are developed in the hope to ease the development of other applications, to improve them, to build a community around it and to build something together with people who have (developed) a passion for it. This project and team efforts shows that thinking outside of the box is the way to be different, gain attention eventually and get the well-deserved credit for it. I genuinely am happy for the team and their accomplishments that they've achieved over the past years. React has became a top-tier framework that offers everything we developers need in our daily life of development.

Incredible story and shows how hard it is to pull off something like this and the amount of mind blowing talent these people have. Outside facebook, Dan's talks and articles were a key contributor in people trying out React. His talks were like how a friend would teach you the night before the exam. I think it should have been highlighted more.

The story surrounding React and its birth really hits different I think. I got a similar feeling watching the GraphQL documentary. It seems like Facebook was (and probably still is) a great place to bring great minds together and push new ideas forward. Everyone really seems so united to create something amazing together. React definitely changed my career and for that I will be forever grateful! Great documentary. ❤

This is wayyyy better than any movie. I really love these documentaries. This to me is the best thing that as a programmer, I should be watching. I am humbled by the things the engineers have gone through to change the web for us to date.

So much joy watching this. One of the most important thinks didn’t get the attention it deserves. React was the first JS library I used and was wow it has been really fun using it! That’s the reason I never wanted to even look at something different. ❤

Absolutely awesome job on this documentary! And of course, huge thanks to all the people who had a hand in making React the best JS UI library that it is today. React was pivotal in my career as a software engineer and made me love this career so much more. Again, thank you!

Loved this! I was in the second semester of my freshman year in 2020 Feb when one of my dorm mate suggested me to try learning React js. Covid happened and we came back home. I dedicated my entire days learning HTML CSS and then JS and finally React. One at a time, building small projects. Did a volunteering internship at a community to understand React better and finally landed on my first real internship at a startup that year in October. Today I am the Tech Lead of that startup (small team of 7) which is a bootstraped profitable one. Being in my freshman year, I didnt see this coming. I owe my career head-start to React! Huge thanks to the team for building such an awesome library. And thank you Honeypot for sharing the React experience with us. ❤️

Amazing documentary. My whole career started with React (Native) in an unpaid internship in my freshman year in college, and now I am working for Facebook, the company that invented it. I would not be where I am at right now without React, and I am immensely grateful.

This documentary literally brought tears in my eye. I owe my whole career to React. Was a C++ developer, but then somehow got into Production Support. I was stuck their for 5+ years including a Job loss during recession. Decided to become a developer again, as was trying a lot of thing like Windows app in HTML, CSS and JS. iPhone app with Swift. But one day in the big Tech company where i was working, someone saw React in my resume and never had to look back. Most people at the company were Java developer. Started doing small projects from 2016 onwards and quite good in React. At around 2017, the demand of React was huge, as it's today. But very few people knew it and so i got completed into React projects for the companies. After working in React from sort of starting, now i don't do development anymore. But teaching the next generation about thi awesome library of React, which changed the trajectory of my career. 😀

Thank you @Honeypot and all the Team behind this for making this awesome documentary for all those who are in the tech community.

Prior to React, I was primarily a PHP/jQuery dev. Started hearing about React in 2016 and ever since then it's pretty much all I ever use. Such a great doc, so well put together it's inspiring me to make a doc of my own.

I'm in the process of learning to react and have watched this four times now. Thank you for producing such an excellent documentary.

I can't understate how React changed my life. Things that once looked unattainable to me became the things I now take for granted. All thanks to these folks.

Okay. I had no idea documentaries about programming were a thing now and I’m fully in love with them. The level of production behind this one was particularly immaculate. I fell in love with the ending transitioning react animation! I know I’m asking for the world but I hope to see a documentary about all the programming languages on here at some point in my life 😂.

It's actually a very impressive documentary. I want to thank all the people who participated in REACT to get here. When REACT was first announced there was some criticism that we thought was due to the way in which RACT JS was released.

The documentary was amazing bring me back to the best memories from 2010 at that point in time everybody in the world was working to solve problems in web and mobile, the energy and vibe in the conference was like rock start incredible time thanks guys good job!

This was very inspiring, so nice to see get to know those super good developers on the process of creating React

i never liked documentaries about tech, but this story about react is really cool and exciting. When you see all the work involved in react, you understand that this project involves much more than just line of code. This is tech!

Ok that was actually pretty good. Really interesting story on how it went from a framework no one understood at first (and heckled) to one the most popular frameworks in use today. So many people that have added their own contributions making it what it is today. Innovation + team work + community. Great doco. Thanks for sharing :)

Thank you for this beautiful documentary, interesting to see all the highs and lows and its good for newer devs to get context of how we got where we are, personally I didn't think about how Facebook has its own culture from the open source community which affects things. I'm now looking forward to a documentary about Angular, maybe next year since a lot of changes are planned this year. It will be a hectic one because Angular has been through a lot.

Came here to support this channel after seeing DarkViperAU's video. I'm not a programmer but i will finish this video from start to end. :) Keep up the good work :)

This makes me think about all the technologies that could have happened but have been pushed down to whatever reason. Pretty scary to think about and important to reflect on, especially for leaders in the industry. I have seen big leaders have a very close minded approach to tech, and it's everyone's responsiblity to detect those people and make a push against their rudimentary ideas. Rock on React!

you all have such great personality & love to see familiar faces again after many years, i've been so lucky to meet these smart folks in conferences back at the beginning of React age. I've been a early adopter, contributor and still daily user of this awesome stack which changed my way of thinking UI. Crazy to think it was 10 years ago!

That's so awesome! React really helps to change my career trajectory and became a developer. Thank you so much to all the people involved in the project and for Honeypot to put this great documentary out for the world!

This was amazing and extremely inspiring! It truly shows the power of perseverance and a great team with brilliant innovators. Thank you

I remember David’s excitement when this happened, all this time later it’s the no-brainer choice everywhere. Great story, cheers

Great to see David Nolen and hear the contribution he made to bringing attention to React. I was in the cljs community at the time and heard of it through David. It was very idiomatic with how ClojureScript’s persistent data structures manage state. The performance impact on rendering they bring to React, all it has to do is compare pointers/refs to know if anything changed. Chef’s kiss.

Met Dan when I was working at Facebook. I loved the documentary! So relatable ❤

Subbing, watching, liking and commenting - DarkViperAu mention you guys in his Rambles and how Theo (who is such a tool) backstabbed you by stealing your content and and claiming "fair use" by "reacting" to it. I despise people like that and your content is professional as was your demeanour toward Theo and his actions. Bravo!

Ahhh, it's amazing to see how to React evolved over the years. This thing pays my bills guys. Thanks to the creators

Really enjoyed it. Love React. As an Android dev with Java / Kotlin background, React took me only a month to learn enough to publish my first prod app on Heroku, a fairly complex one. Kudos to the team.

What sticks out is React could have been killed at any point in the early days by a Boss who thought these devs were in above their heads, so facebook's internal culture seems to have been really effective at preventing this from happening.

Wow - this is the best documentary I've seen... It's such a great story of great leadership, innovation and community.

This video is a gold gem, it's show the importance of the community behind a product for it to succeed. Amazing thanks !

After working on Angular for many years, when React was introduced to me, I was one of those who thought it a crap. I admit it! But when I created my first component, I saw the difference in number of lines I had to write in React vs Angular for same thing! The performance of page on DOM was clearly visible! It blew my minds and cant think of any framework now. React is going to dominate JS world for quite a some time just like jQuery did and I am sure someone is cooking something better somewhere which will be better than React! Cheers to the creaters and and contributes of this amazing piece of technology. 🤟

Being backend developer all the time, React really changed my life. This is really an awesome documentary by @Honeypot!! Huge shout out to all the real heros behind React and React Native. They really changed the life of million people on this lovely planet and become the reason of bread earning ❤

"If someone has a question, everyone can jump in and answer it instead of just Jordan" - really loved this and that he describes it as "a big shift". This is one of the indicators that you actually have a team.

Beyond the framework, I think the ideas behind react are infectious and drive a very particular kind of community among the people I work with. Aligned with the React values, we try to be open-minded to take in new best practices and at the same time, we are always creating new libraries that are more reusable, testable, and maintainable so that someone else down the line does not have to do it again. I'm grateful to say that the atmosphere in my team is similar to that of the people in this documentary even though we are just building upon the abstractions that these amazing people have created.

My commitment & love for React Js is strengthened. Thank you for taking out time & resources to help us understand the ecosystem around its' development. React Js is here to stay❤️

The Vue documentary was amazing. Can't wait!

I literally got emotional over this documentary. I think it reflects the dreams and struggels of web development very well and overall gives a sensational feeling of overcoming problems with huge enthusiasm and trust in their vision. 10/10 best one so far, Honeypot. Ty
