Is React a Template for React?

Messenger is sort of like a de facto real time app. And that's basically the way everything else in the web is going. But then there was also another interesting project happening at the time we were building out Instagram web. This was right after Facebook acquired Instagram and Pete Hunt was building the Instagram website. He saw React and figured this is a really good way to build clients that you like. So he started building the entire website that way. At the same time, I was building a new business interface for clients that react and client-side UIs. so I built out a charting library around that.
