Built My Own React: Frappee — a React-like library
|AUTHOR: ADITYA_PANDEY // A 4-hour build: a tiny React-like library with hooks, VDOM, and a custom renderer — for learning how frameworks actually work.
TL;DR: I implemented a lightweight React-like library (Frappee) with a virtual DOM renderer and a hooks system (useState/useEffect) to deeply understand reconciliation and rendering.
What it taught me
- Hooks are simple stateful closures when implemented correctly.
- Reconciliation & minimal DOM updates are the heart of performant UIs.
- A minimal bundler (Parcel) makes iteration very fast.
