Building modern React applications
summary
Modern React development centers on actual APIs and tradeoffs not slogans: use Context Hooks Suspense instead of reflexively adding Redux or MobX when component-scoped state and effects cover most cases, fetch data with useEffect today and expect Suspense data APIs soon, deploy static sites with Gatsby Next.js create-react-app depending on needs (Gatsby for all-pages-at-build, Next.js for SSR and dynamic routing), prefer TypeScript over Flow for safer refactors, and build a design system with spacing and font scales so components stay consistent and reusable.
