The React stack is now an ecosystem
There is no single "React stack" anymore. There is Next.js for SEO-bearing surfaces and full-stack apps. There is Remix for forms-and-data web apps. There is React Native for shared mobile codebases. There is plain React on top of Vite when the app is genuinely a single-page client.
Picking correctly between these is half the work.
How we build a React frontend
- Server components by default when the data layer permits it, client components when interactivity demands it
- Type-safe data flow from the database edge to the rendered DOM
- Design system components owned by the team, not imported from a third party that may not exist in two years
- Accessibility verified in CI, not after a launch
- Performance budgets enforced on bundle size, LCP, and INP
Joinery visible
We do not hide framework conventions behind clever abstractions. New engineers should be able to read a route, find its data source, and trace the render path without a tour.
Mobile when it fits
React Native shares a meaningful amount of code with web React, but it is not free. We use it when a product needs native presence on two platforms with shared logic.
A frontend codebase ages well when the next engineer can read it without a guide.
