Summary

We recently converted our on-site application from Angular to React, a decision driven by its popularity and benefits in development time and design collaborations. To ensure a smooth transition, we waited until ready, started new with a brand new repo and codebase, invested in learning the library and ecosystem, and prioritized bug fixes over feature upgrades. This approach allowed us to iterate on the UI while staying open for business and enabled us to take advantage of changes and features that improved our application without sending bugs to production. The transition was largely unnoticed by our users, a desirable outcome, and we're excited to announce new features and improvements in the coming weeks.
