Why React?
Highest satisfaction rating
(surveyed from stateofjs 2019)
React holds the top spot in the Front end ecosystem. From usage to satisfaction over it's 7 year life span, it seems to be the sweet spot for company and individual adoption.
Why React hooks?
- Hooks are the current way the React ecosystem engages in creating reusable utilities to make reuse between and inside of projects a breeze
- With the success of use-cloudinary we can help focus on similar types of functionality in other Front end frameworks/ecosystems (Vue/Svelte/etc)
- Quickly show off sandboxed examples and create an easy way for third party creators to do the same

Internal collaboration
By creating a layer over our SDK I was able to onboard as a usual user would.
Once the hooks were released, I met with members of our SDK team to discuss strategy + feedback. This will help push further collaboration between our internal goals and community adoption.
