A fun react series in future
A companion code repository for Hitesh Choudhary's React tutorial series on YouTube. Each numbered folder is a standalone mini-project (counter, password generator, currency converter, theme switcher, todo app, blog) that maps to a video lesson. Aimed squarely at beginners working through the series.
The progression is well-structured — concepts build on each other, from basic JSX to hooks to context to routing to a real Appwrite-backed blog app. The currency converter correctly extracts a custom hook into its own file, which is exactly the pattern beginners need to see demonstrated rather than explained. The blog app (project 11) integrates Redux Toolkit, React Hook Form, and Appwrite together, giving learners a taste of a real stack rather than another toy counter. Each project is independently runnable with its own package.json, so you can drop into any lesson without cloning state from earlier ones.
The README is literally one line — no links to the video series, no explanation of what each project covers, nothing. Someone stumbling on this without already watching the videos has no idea what they're looking at. Last push was August 2024 and several projects still use the deprecated Create React App setup (01basicreact) alongside Vite ones, which will confuse beginners wondering why the tooling differs. There are no tests anywhere — not even a single smoke test — so nothing demonstrates that skill to learners. The customReact folder contains a hand-rolled mini-React with no explanation of its pedagogical purpose.
