CARTO and React
CARTO strongly believes that reactive programming is the best way to develop location intelligence applications (LI). Why?

In October, we released @deck.gl/carto , a module to provide integration between CARTO and deck.gl. Today, our developers are maintainers, and our CTO is part of the steering committee for deck.gl.More recently, as our developer users love React, we released a new product created from developers to developers, CARTO for React, to accelerate and guide the development of LI with the CARTO platform.Today, we need your help to build a completely new product that will become the most important tool for CARTO users.
