That'd be something provided by the Web platform (and the DOM bindings), not React. React provides a way to work with the DOM elements/native components/etc in a reactive way.

The real problem is that the Web platform doesn't offer a good set of customizable UI elements other than the most barebone basics.

Was that before or after Uber completely changed the market?

Cab companies and drivers, unsurprisingly. I love how Uber and Bolt changed the experience of using a taxi during the last decade.

Anywhere in Europe I go, I can count on a good service - 10 years ago it was absolutely terrible. Broken down cars that the drivers probably used to sleep in taking you on a much longer route than necessary and overcharging you for that. One time a gangster like that took me to his gang when I used a phone with GPS to call him out on his route. No thanks, never again.

Why would anyone want to call a "real" taxi without any driver rating system?

Reply to the comment below because I can't post no more:

That "simple stuff" never worked in any EU city I ever visited. It just helped the gangsters keep their business.

The real simple stuff that works is an app with rating system and pre-calculated prices.

Seems like a very nice app that works on multiple platforms, and it's even gifted to the community as open source. I don't know where you found the audacity to call something waste of time, but please keep it to yourself.

Yeah, but without the 20+ min wait time and shitty availability, without the terrible broken down smelling cars, without the gangster drivers and their gangs, without them gatekeeping people who want to be a taxi driver, without taking you all around the city with a boosted taxameter... But other than that just like a cab service, yeah.

You can use one of the React-Virtualized components without the slightest idea how it works. TableView from SwiftUI is the same thing - a component that implements virtualization on top of the base GUI library for you.

React is not a UI framework, it's a low level reactive library with very limited scope - even the DOM bindings are shipped separately! Bring your own batteries.
