Hey HN, excited to share with you Rollstack, a front-end development platform for developers, that includes visual development, one click integrations and code editing. The result is a React application in sync with github/gitlab. The code is fully owned by developers with the ability to eject it when needed. The alpha was released 3 weeks ago and we're focusing now on the beta version. Team members are here to answer any question :)

OK, but what does the React code look like? Does it deliver just UI components, or is it structured into a full app? How does that app handle routing and state management? What npm packages and UI frameworks does it use? Does it build CSS-in-JS or use a different styling solution?

In short, how many decisions are pre-built by the app, and how much choice do developers really get in their UI?

Hi codingdave, React applications built with Rollstack, come with a clean & production-ready code. Under the hood, they all use libraries like tailwind for the styling part, react-router for routing, axios & react-query for data synchronization, redux for state mngmt, and other open source libraries for all other features and external integrations.
Cool, thanks for the info. It sounds like you've made reasonable choices. Good luck with the product!
Thank you! @codingdave
