petermolnar the plugin is using rather new and shiny WP functionalities
#
petermolnar but it's strictly WP only
#
petermolnar although, I think, it can be used as generic feed reader

[grantcodes] from yesterday and a bit off topic but [Csongor] I just converted my entire site to react recently (server side rendered) and it's great

#
petermolnar [grantcodes]: how does that work? (genuine question) Does it serve, essentially, a static site, with a JS router on the backend?

#
[jgmac1106] Ha ha I was gonna point you to [Csongor] after our discussion on HTML not being the way forward in the future
#
petermolnar or does it still require a frontend component to pull it off the server?

#
[eddie] petermolnar I think it probably works like Angular with server side rendering. Essentially it does two things, when you hit a url, the server uses the components to serve static html for the route you are requesting.
#
[eddie] Then, once that page is loaded the actual front end components load so that if you need to change routes its able to go back to not having to refresh the page
