React

My original blog was built with Ghost and hosted on DigitalOcean. And while I enjoyed my time with Ghost, there were a few things I wanted to explore outside its scope, like writing posts with MDX! Mounting React components in blog posts is really cool! While I did manage to work everything out, the migration was not a cakewalk, however. It's 2020, what could go wrong?

In React, passing data from a parent to its child is pretty simple, it can easily trickle down through props. But what about the other way around... without using Flux or PubSub?

During my adventures in learning React, I came across a particular roadblock with independent component communication. I understand how 'parent-child components' talk. The React doc's explain that pretty well. However, a place that could use an improvement is explaining with examples on how to make independent components communicate.
