Episode 3: The React Story

Stack Stories

In the third Episode of Stack Stories, we sat down with Pete Hunt, one of the original creators of React, formerly of Facebook/Instagram, now CEO of Smyte. Hard to believe that one of the most popular JavaScript UI libraries on Earth got to be so popular all because Instagram needed a web presence to get SEO juice. Sound a bit far-fetched? Listen to the full story and get the details on why React was created at Facebook, how Facebook lost the mobile battle but won the war, and how React gained adoption within Facebook and eventually across the world.
