Did you use react by itself or with (re)flux? That makes all the difference.

I had it by itself. I'll check out reflux and the react developer tools (also didn't have those).

What has your experience with reflux (and other flux libraries) been like? I haven't tried any of them yet, currently using a home-rolled solution with PouchDB. They all look a bit overly ceremonious for my liking (same thing that drove me away from Backbone early on).

In my experience, React isn't worth the hassle without Reflux.

I was a bit apprehensive at first since it's the only flux implementation I've come across that gets rid of the dispatcher altogether, but after building a couple of internal apps I think it's the cleanest, simplest implementation.
