There’s few folks as reliable, thoughtful, and no-nonsense as @bell.bz. I’ve known him a long time and I don’t endorse people lightly.

If you’re looking for a studio/agency to get your project going, I couldn’t recommend Set.Studio enough:

<Activity> - The most exciting React feature just came out!

Hide a React subtree and unmount its Effects while preserving its state, and keep rendering it with lower priority.

Unlocks very exciting pre-rendering patterns along the way!

More Activity modes are coming

Silence. And peace. And calm. I like it here, standing by the banks of this slow, serene river. Its tranquility fills me.
