react-native-dom

When I decided to take a stab at something similar, I settled on a different approach in taking an existing asynchronous UI architecture, React Native, instead of just trying to proxy the DOM: https://github.com/vincentriemer/react-native-dom I think it works better because the original framework wrestles with the same limitations you mention (though an upcoming rearchitecture doesn't), and while it is by no means perfect, some early results are promising: https://rndom-movie-demo.now.sh

This project is using React Native which is slightly different from ReactDOM (commonly referred to as just React/ReactJS). In the past, ReactJS and ReactDOM were completely interchangeable. However, some time ago now React split the DOM specific parts of the library into ReactDOM which allowed the non-DOM specific parts of the library to be shared more easily across different rendering targets. Some examples: * android (via react-native) * ios (via react-native) * canvas https://github.com/Flipboard/react-canvas Since the release of React Native there have been a couple of interesting projects that allow developers to use the same APIs as React Native, but rendering to the DOM instead of android/ios native views. https://github.com/necolas/react-native-web is a great production ready lib but requires a bit of setup to get it workin
