It's worth considering that Carrd didn't start from 0. He had a pretty big following already from his work that has overlap with the type of user that Carrd wants. Having momentum from the start can be huge for this kind of service.
The official React tutorial starts you out by installing create-react-app. I know that vue has something similar and I wouldn't be surprised if others did as well (are there even other important front-end frameworks besides React/Angular/Vue at the moment?)
This allow you to start off with a great setup and skip the configuration so you can get started with just writing React. I highly suggest starting with official docs before writing these off. A lot of other tutorials are of varying quality but you can trust the official docs for sure until you learn more about the community and which resources are worth it (or just use this https://github.com/markerikson/react-redux-links). It can be overwhelming if you aren't actively following the front-end world but the reality is that you need very little node knowledge and can go a very long way without ever touching webpack + babel. Even then, once you get to the point, learning to configure those things won't take much time and to me, it's worth it for the developer experience.
If you really want to dabble in just writing React code, you can also try these browser IDEs if they float your boat.
Yeah. I see a lot of replies here posting about remote work (which don't get me wrong is awesome!) but to me, that kind of misses the point. If you want an office, you generally like the idea of being able to interact with your coworkers in person. You just want privacy whenever you aren't interacting with people. Going full remote means that you rarely get that in person interaction if at all.
Willing to relocate: With assistance (looking to stay in the USA or Canada)
Technologies: Prefer to work with: React, Redux, GraphQL. Can jump into Ruby, Rails, Backbone, and Node as necessary
Résumé/CV: I'm a developer with 4 years of experience working with an agency and a startup. I have spent roughly 2 spend working on front end and 2 as a full stack developer. My most recent work involved jumping onto an unfinished CMS built in Ruby on Rails as the sole developer and finishing it based on the client's needs while offering suggestions to improve the product throughout the process. It involved basic page management, refining the UI for easier content creation, and adding content types as necessary well as later adding event management and content tags. After initial release, I continued to work with the client to eventually migrate ~10,000 users into their database allowing all to login and access content based on account subscription level.
I am looking to grow as a developer and have begun to learn ReactJs as that is where i think a lot of the web is moving towards. I'm interested in a position working with React and the surrounding ecosystem. I'm open to full-time or remote and would love to join a smart team that can push me to new heights while hopefully contributing just as much to the team myself. - https://github.com/Sonicrida
I will check up on Firefox every couple of months to see if it's still slow. The moment at which I feel the performance matches my chrome experience, I'm going back.
You should check today then. The performance more than matches Chrome. In some area, it's straight up faster than Chrome (like closing tabs, for instance).
