And that was my original point, using React for a small one page thing like this is grossly overkill but Vue is a good smaller alternative at this scale that gives you most benefits.

I looked at the jQuery example above and checked the Vue example in the same repo. That example has about as many lines total but the Vue example is 30% smaller in total due to shorter lines.
