React Beyond the DOM
summary
Shows how to build a custom renderer with the official react-reconciler package, implementing createInstance/createTextInstance, prepareUpdate/commitUpdate, and producing a JSON tree for an HTML→Markdown renderer that supports lists and tables; demos convert edited HTML to Markdown live and the demo survives onstage. Also wires React to the Real World by controlling IoT lights via a QuickJS sandbox runtime for third‑party apps and uses XState to run a timed traffic‑light state machine.
