Read full description

The entire React documentation in one app, fully offline. WHAT IS INSIDE The react.dev handbook — 177 articles: quick start, learning guides, the API reference and hooks. All of it ships with the app: on the underground, on a plane and with no signal, the documentation opens exactly as it does at home. LANGUAGES English, Russian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. English and Russian are complete. The language comes from the phone; articles the community has not translated yet are shown in English with a note. READING • Dark theme • Text size • Reading progress: the app remembers where you stopped and takes you back • Search inside the handbook • Links inside articles open the article they name, not a browser HONESTLY No ads, no accounts, no analytics, no tracking. The app does not need the internet to work. The react.dev documentation is licensed under CC BY 4.0.
