I'm a self-taught web developer and I want to learn React right now. Is here anybody who would like to team up with me on a project in order to get learning react together?
Thanks, Alin R.

will all go to your email account
It IS for organising legitimate incoming mail though.
I started working on HG two years ago, open sourced the code [2], but never really had the time to give it the love it needs (updating to a newer version of React, make the code nicer, blog about it...).
If you'd like to give it a boost, I'm happy to leave it as a playground and support where needed -- assuming the core functionality will still be there. We've had already a good number of friends from all over the world contributing with UI improvements and translations.
Incidentally this is how I learned React, and in fact this is not much more than React tutorial (searchable list) with a slightly better UI, and backed by a google spreadsheet. I also integrated ads sense, with the idea to pay back the $12/y of the domain, but I think there's some issue loading. Overall I think a project like this could teach you quite a good number of reusable skills.
http://www.openmindedinnovations.com/blogs/3-ways-to-integra... is a decent, although old article on the three different ways that it can be done.
I personally recommend https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails as the solution to this issue. Instead of merely providing you with React and React only like https://github.com/reactjs/react-rails does, it welds Node & Rails together to enable you to use the latest and greatest of the javascript ecosystem.
As for the benefits of doing so, having started my web development journey with Rails, I like to think that Rails provides an excellent convention for Backend MVC & ORM while Node gives you access to up-to-date javascript libraries & frameworks. Combining Node & Rails allows to you to exploit the strengths of both systems in exchange for dealing with greater complexity.
Sorry, but nothing is mentioned on the website.
We built our product (not launched yet) in React and its primary purpose is to help us learn redux (which explains why we haven't launched it). So far we've had about 3 code rewrites, the most recent being refactoring codebase to use Redux (all of us love it).
We have weekly sprint meetings every Thursday to talk about the project assign tasks and review the team's progress. We have had about 15 sprint meetings.
If anybody wants to join us, we would love to teach you what we learned and assign you a few tasks. My email is song at zheng.club
You might actually want to consider Reactiflux as an option instead of a Slack group. Granted, a Slack group would work well for a smaller, goal-focused group, whereas Reactiflux is more of a general "discuss anything related to React and related tools" set of channels. That said, it'd definitely be possible for us to add a channel dedicated to this learning effort, and there's always plenty of people hanging around who can answer questions.
No problem either way, just wanted to toss out that as an option.
FYI, the Reactiflux invite link is available to anyone at http://www.reaactiflux.com . And, if anyone's interested, my "Practical Redux" blog series can be found in my blog at http://blog.isquaredsoftware.com .
I have been hacking with React for sometime now. I am struggling to get better. Can I join you for learning React better My mail id : kumar[dot]sai119[at]gmail[dot]com
