Rodrigo Pombo - Build your own React - jsday 2019

A conference talk transcript from jsday 2019 where Rodrigo Pombo walks through building a simplified React clone called 'Didact' from scratch in 8 incremental steps. The talk covers implementing createElement, a basic render function, the fiber tree data structure for non-blocking rendering using requestIdleCallback, reconciliation for updates and deletions, function component support, event handling, and a basic useState hook implementation. The goal is to help developers build a mental model of how React works internally.
