Can I share a link to my React library or tool here?
Yes, but only if you are an active and positive member of the subreddit first, and the link genuinely answers a question someone asked.

Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- Please be kind and courteous, friendly and professional: [Be kind to your fellow human](https://www.reddithelp.com/en/categories/reddit-101/reddit-basics/reddiquette). There’s no need to be mean or rude, keep unstructured critique to a minimum. When providing help, answer their question before making stylistic or tool suggestions.
- Harassment will not be tolerated: We all started somewhere, and we're all allowed to be who we are. We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of level of experience, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, neurodivergence, race, ethnicity, physical attributes, religion, nationality, or other aspect of identity.
- Avoid using an alias or display name that might be offensive: reddit has a long history of intentionally offensive usernames, but not here. Names that detract from a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all will be addressed.
- Respect that people have differences of opinion: Every design or implementation choice carries a trade-off and numerous costs. There is seldom a single right answer, and there are valid reasons to choose between a range of tradeoffs between tools, approaches, and patterns.
- Posts must conform to our guidelines: If you join this community to take value rather than contribute, the community will quickly react as though you are an intruder. If you have a body of content you'd like to promote, our recommended way of doing so is to be an active and positive member of the subreddit. If someone has a question that you've created an external answer to, we'd love if you share it! Please review the sidebar for a complete list of guidelines.

Works well
- Announce a new release of your open source React library with a clear, specific title and a link to the changelog or repo.
- Ask a focused technical question about a real React problem and include a code snippet or reproduction.
- Share a pre-alpha or early-stage React tool with honest framing about its maturity.
- Answer someone's question in the comments and, if you have written a longer external answer, link to it as a helpful resource.
- Post a weekly or recurring React news roundup with a descriptive title listing the topics covered.
- Share your portfolio on Portfolio Sunday with code and context about what you built.
Avoid
- Posting a link to your tool or content without first being an active and positive member of the subreddit.
- Asking for help without including code or a reproduction, since the guidelines require it.
- Sharing your portfolio on any day other than Sunday.
- Being rude or harsh when someone asks a beginner question, since the community expects kindness first and stylistic suggestions second.
- Showing up only to take value and never contributing to discussions, which the community treats as intruding.

What r/reactjs Is For
This community is for discussing anything related to the React UI framework and its ecosystem. Developers of all experience levels post here, from beginners asking questions to library maintainers announcing releases. The rules make clear that the room is friendly, professional, and welcoming to everyone regardless of background or skill level. People share code, ask technical questions, debate tradeoffs between tools and patterns, and talk about careers in the React world.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule called Posts must conform to our guidelines is the one that decides whether your marketing-adjacent post survives. It says if you join to take value rather than contribute, the community will react as though you are an intruder. The rule named Guidelines: Needs code means any post asking for help must include code. The rule named Guidelines: Portfolio Sunday restricts portfolio posts to Sundays. The rule called Guidelines: Commercial activity governs how you handle anything commercial. The rule named Be kind to your fellow human keeps the tone civil, and the rule named Respect that people have differences of opinion means you should not attack someone for choosing a different tool or approach.
What To Post
A good post here is either a genuine technical question with code included, or a substantive contribution like a library release or a deep technical discussion. The top posts show what works: announcing a new version of a well-known library, sharing a pre-alpha project with a clear title, asking what the hardest concept in React is, or discussing a specific technical problem like partial JSON streaming and UI flickering. If you are a founder with a React-related product, the best move is to participate in discussions first, answer questions where you can, and only then share your work when it directly answers what someone asked for.
What To Avoid
Do not post without code if you are asking for help, because the guidelines require it. Do not share your portfolio except on Portfolio Sunday. Do not drop links to your own content without first being an active and positive member of the subreddit. Do not be rude, mean, or dismissive, especially to beginners. Do not push your tool or library as the only right answer, because the rules say every design choice carries tradeoffs and there is seldom a single right answer. Do not join only to take value, because the community will treat you as an intruder.

Common questions about r/reactjs
Can I post my portfolio or personal project showcase any day of the week?
No, the guidelines say portfolio posts belong on Portfolio Sunday.
What do I need to include when asking for help with a React problem?
You must include code or a reproduction, because the guidelines require it for any post asking for help.
Can I post as a beginner who is just learning React?
Yes, the community is open regardless of experience level, but you must follow the same rules about code, kindness, and participation.
