Forging Productive National Discourse with React by David Fridley

The speaker, David Fridley from the nonprofit NSI, discusses how their open-source software called Civil Pursuit aims to foster productive online discourse using React. He highlights the problem of polarized echo chambers in social media and news media, and explains how in-person dialogue and deliberation can lead to better understanding and agreement among people with differing views. The talk outlines the steps of a simple discussion format used in dialogue and deliberation, such as writing down answers individually, discussing and grouping similar answers, ranking the most important issues, and engaging in productive discussions. This process is then translated into code using React components. The speaker emphasizes the importance of working with designers to create a layout in Figma, which is then divided into GitHub issues for volunteer developers to work on. He demonstrates how individual React components, like the point component, are built based on the Figma design and props. Storybook, a tool for testing React components, is highlighted as crucial for enabling volunteer developers to create and test components efficiently. The speaker shows examples of Storybook test cases and how they help in building and integrating components into the full application. The talk concludes with a live demo of the Civil Pursuit application, showcasing the interactive features built with React, such as grouping points, ranking issues, and facilitating discussions. The speaker emphasizes the potential of using React and Storybook to create tools that promote productive online discourse, rather than focusing solely on profit-driven platforms.
