Apps built with React
React is the default frontend choice for a large share of products on Builderswave, and the reason is as much about people as technology. It has the deepest talent pool of any frontend library locally, the most learning material, and the largest component ecosystem, so a team can hire, a self-taught developer can learn, and nobody has to build a date picker from scratch. The component model also matches how small teams actually work, letting one person own a feature end-to- end. Where African context bites is performance: React applications can ship a lot of JavaScript, and on a mid- range Android phone over an intermittent connection that is felt immediately. The teams doing this well are deliberate about bundle size, code splitting and server rendering. Browse the products built with React below and see how they handled it.

Frequently asked questions
- Why is React so common here?
- The largest local talent pool, the most learning resources and a component ecosystem that saves small teams from rebuilding common UI.
- Is React a problem on low-end devices?
- It can be if bundle size is ignored. Teams building for mid-range Android phones and slow connections lean heavily on code splitting and server rendering.
