"React is awesome — but let's be honest, some parts can be confusing at first. What tripped you up the most?"
Whether you're just starting out or have been working with React for years, we’ve all hit those moments where something just didn’t click right away.
- 🧠 useEffect – kept getting stuck in dependency hell.
- 🔄 Lifting state up – It made sense eventually, but at first, it was a mess.
- 🔁 Re-renders and performance issues – Especially with large components.

Easy to cause infinite loops with
useEffect.I'm still trying to understand why people like React. There are many better options
What options do you vibe with more? Svelte? Vue?
Definitely re-renders tripped me up, especially figuring out why my state was resetting or components weren't updating as expected.
How do you usually debug tricky render bugs in your projects?
Render bugs can be sneaky. React DevTools to trace state and props. Breaking things down into smaller pieces also helps a lot.
Great man, this is such a great pos.
Great Project
tbh useEffect had me lost for way too long, nothing made sense with the deps at first lol - you ever wonder if all the react magic sometimes gets in the way of actually building stuff?
useEffect can be a total maze! I feel you—sometimes React's "magic" feels like it overcomplicates the build.
