Tetris Built in React to Help You Learn – Tetris on a Plane

I was playing around with a vanilla JavaScript Tetris implementation someone posted, tetris-on-a-plane, learning and recreating it from scratch to sharpen my JavaScript skills. I thought it would also be fun to sharpen up my React skills a little. So I re-implemented Tetris on a Plane in React. I found it really helpful to see a vanilla js app, and then the same thing broken into components and implemented in React, maybe you will too! Regardless, I learned a lot re-implementing it.

In plain words

This is a Tetris game built in React to help developers learn web development. It recreates a vanilla JavaScript Tetris implementation by breaking it into React components, allowing developers to see how the same application can be structured differently. The project is useful for learning JavaScript fundamentals and React concepts through a working game example, complete with playable version and source code available on GitHub.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
