Preact: Fast 3kb React Alternative with the Same ES6 API. Components and vDOM (preactjs.com)
4 points by tilt on June 15, 2016 | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments



We provide 3rd party widgets to sites and originally built them all to leverage jQuery, which has been on 100% of them so far.

However, we prefer React components. Within a week, we were able to convert the jQuery widgets into React components and bundle with Preact.

What's funny is that it ended up being a smaller bundle due to complex logic it took to make jQuery render and update the DOM from existing state. (React's bread and butter)


Fast and broken.


Broken how?
