You’re on Linux and you can give it a try. Since this has been written, Reacto is available on all platforms (even it is mainly focused on macOS right now). I will update the article, thank you very much! :)
Regarding your suggestion, I think this is a really nice idea. Maybe follow me somewhere, there is some chance I’ll publish such a project sooner or later. Really love the idea, thank you Julian.
However for web apps, this is a huge task. I believe there are already good options for this, using react under the hood (maybe).
Would you be interested for a software that does create react components without any sense of coding?
