What Hacker News says
2 sourcesI suppose you were using Cycle.js before Cycle State was released. There are a few other projects in production like yours, some of them successfully applying the framework, and others that found difficulties with state management and wiring between components.
For anyone out there looking to evaluate Cycle.js for production, I recommend looking at the source code of an open source app I'm actively building: https://github.com/staltz/manyverse I am happy with the architecture, specially how well it manages React Native's many native APIs in a well organized way.
I also need to emphasize that Cycle.js is more of an architectural framework, not much of a rendering framework, so it's not a competitor to React, you can use both together. React for rendering, and Cycle.js for architecture and orchestration.
