What Hacker News says

21 sources
When I started investigating isomporphic strategies with Reflux I stumbled upon this thread (https://github.com/spoike/refluxjs/issues/144) which made me realize that if I didn't switch quick I would have some terrible technical debt on my hands in the coming months. I started looking for alternatives and found Flummox, which is lightweight, isomorphic, and written for the future via ES6-7 features like async await and classes. (Once you start using ES6 classes with ES7 classProperties turned on via Babel -> stage 0 you'll never want to go back to the old way of writing things.)
In React JS Best Practices
Alternatively, you could use Reflux.js[1] for a simplified Flux-implementation that is probably enough for smaller apps. I use it in combination with React.js, or Ractive.js, depending on my or my client's needs. Ractive.js, which uses mustache templates, is particularly useful if one needs to collaborate with people who cannot use JSX or are wary of it. And it's pretty useful for smaller projects too.

In What the Flux?
React, which is "just the V in MVC" Combine that with Reflux[1], which is a more opinionated framework around it. It's conceptually a little different than the Flux pattern that Facebook recommends, but the changes make sense after you have some insight into the Flux pitfalls. Stir in some react-router[2]. It's still not as full featured as Angular or Ember, so you'll need to adjust your expectations there. On that note, the Ember team has stated[3] they're going to to take the best ideas from React, so it's probably a good idea to keep an eye on that project as well. Mithril[4] also looks React-ish and interesting. 1: https://github.com/spoike/refluxjs 2: https://github.com/rackt/react-router 3: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1afMLTCpRxhJpurQ97VBH... 4: http://lhorie.github.io/mithril/
