Under the hood ReactJS

Entire React code base explanation by visual block schemes (Stack version)

Under the hood ReactJS launched on July 3, 2017 with 266 votes, #75 of 2,972 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 9 years on.

In plain words

Under the Hood ReactJS is a developer resource that provides visual block diagrams explaining how React's internal code works. It breaks down React's architecture and logic through clickable flowcharts that users can zoom and examine in detail. The project currently covers React's Stack version with work underway on the Fiber version. It's designed for developers who want to understand React's inner workings by studying the codebase structure and concepts through visual representations rather than text alone.

From the sources

This repository contains an explanation of inner work of React. In fact, I was debugging through the entire code base and put all the logic on visual block-schemes, analyzed them, summarized and explained main concepts and approaches. I’ve already finished with Stack version and now I work with the next, Fiber version. Each scheme is clickable and can be opened in a new tab, use that to zoom it and be able to read from it. Keep the article and a scheme you are reading about at that moment in separate windows (tabs), that will help to match text and code flow easier. We are gonna talk here about both React versions, current one with Stack reconciler and the next one with Fiber (as you…from bogdan-lyashenko.github.io

    I made this because building UIs in a lexical medium like code is super annoying. I have to pre-render what I’m making in my head, and then jump between the browser and IDE to test. I was inspired by the developer console in chrome and safari since I end up editing css there because it’s ironically more convenient. Hope it’s useful!

    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…
