The modern web has many critical building blocks, and React is one of those. First open-sourced by Meta in 2013, React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces through reusable components.

Its mobile counterpart, React Native, brings the same component model to iOS and Android. At this point, we can comfortably say that these projects are not just development tools but an essential part of the web infrastructure.

Now, the project has a new home to reflect that.
