I use React and Backbone too. Here's the source code: https://github.com/pixyj/feel/tree/master/client/app
I use jQuery for animations and also for non-crud pixel-level DOM manipulations as in the graph shown in the home page: https://conceptcoaster.com/course/python-tutorial/ In the graph, I need to dynamically calculate height of certain elements based on the height of others. The height cannot be predicted in advance. Can React work for such cases too?
