Preact: Fast 3kb React Alternative with the Same API, Components and Virtual DOM

I reached for Preact on a project and was very satisfied with it. Until, that is, I hit a bug where DOM elements would be rendered out of order when I would call setState. I replaced Preact with React and everything worked fine. The logic was fairly straightforward as well - I was not doing anything fancy.

Preact is great but be prepared for anomalies like mine.

We are working on a new renderer that started out life as a way of addressing the specific corner cases that can lead to this. It will be released in early 2021.

Most probably this would be something to do with the key prop. Or how conditional components are being rendered. I can't make any judgements without seeing the final code though.
