This is very cool. A lot of devs ask for "resources" on how to learn something like react. It's tough to answer because it depends on what level you're at and what you want to learn about it.

@pixelpaperyarn has created a Trello board organized by topic. trello.com/b/00FTE3Wi/rea…

I like this approach for several reasons.

1. It's broken down by categories that allow people to self-serve. Maybe you just said "react" but what you really wanted to know about was how to hook react to a GraphQL backend. So you can go straight to that.

2. This way of looking at it shows the breadth and depth of the topic overall. It might be a bit overwhelming at first. But it's important to get a sense for the landscape. I think it helps people move towards asking more informed and targeted questions next time.

3. The content is centered around react. But react alone is not sufficient to build anything. So the board shows clearly that you need to bring in other parts of the ecosystem, e.g. webpack, testing frameworks, redux, etc. Without being opinionated about what you might choose.

I'll definitely be recommending this to people going forward. I'd like to see way more things shaped like this for various popular topics. Somebody should probably pay @pixelpaperyarn for it.
