Thoughts on learning React:
If you need a web dev job *right now*, then yes, you should learn it.
Otherwiseā¦
Learn the web components spec inside and out, then try out some helpful lightweight tooling (like LitElement ā¤ļø).
I have no doubt this is the future of frontend.

I think I either want native ālink quotingā / citations in my site and in Indigenous or someway to automatically do that. This hints back at a conversation in the IndieWeb channels about how posting interfaces have homogenized to be āintelligentā (in the sense that by setting certain fields, the post type can be inferred). I think itās more constraint driven for sure but due to the hyper plurality of content types weāve engaged with, itās easier to throw users a kitchen sink versus providing more intelligent interfaces. Weāre making strides towards that though!
