Xstate: Thank you

[ferdinandsalis]

Hi David,

Just watched your React Rally talk. Great talk and really liking xstate. I am already using it in an app of mine. Works like a charm. Also adopted the React Router like api for conditionally rendering of components from this screencast on xstate. Do you have any thoughts on that? Anyway, just wanted to say thank you for this. Looking forward to see how this idea is going to evolve.

Thanks @ferdinandsalis! I really appreciate messages like these, and am curious to see how you are using xstate. Version 2 is coming soon with a lot of extra features, especially to align it more closely with SCXML (the web standard for statecharts).

I also want to take the opportunity to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH one more time to @davidkpiano.
Your talk at the React Rally was definitely one of the most inspiring talks of 2017, and I'm reading all the books/papers you recommended.
I'm so grateful for what I'm learning, and I'm super excited about statecharts and the future of xstate.

Also, thanks @ferdinandsalis for opening this issue - we should do this more often.
You might be interested in the experiment I'm working on, which is based on xstate (of course) and inspired by Ryan's video as well.
My goal is to get React components tested for free.

I will add to this. The x-state and react-automata projects have just helped me reform what was a slightly embarrassing, fragile and hard to reason about component in our application. This component is a key stone in the critical feature set of our offering and has now been transformed into a self documenting, provably solid little gem; leading the way for some of the other complex areas of the application. Many many thanks for all the hard work guys!

I wanna add a little thanks here too. This has honestly got me really excited about dev again. I'm up stupid hours atm fiddling and learning this shizz in my spare time. I haven't felt this enthused for ages :heart:
