## What it is
A reference implementation of the RealWorld 'Conduit' social blogging app (a Medium clone) built with React and MobX. It demonstrates real-world frontend patterns including JWT auth, CRUD for articles and comments, pagination, and favorites against the shared RealWorld API.

## Use cases
- learn how to structure a React app with MobX
- see a real-world example of JWT authentication in React
- compare state management approaches using the RealWorld spec
- study CRUD patterns for articles and comments in a SPA
- use as a starting template for a Medium-style blogging frontend
- understand how to integrate a frontend with a shared REST API

## When to choose
- you want an idiomatic React + MobX codebase to learn from
- you're comparing frontend frameworks via the RealWorld spec
- you need a working example of auth, CRUD, and pagination in a SPA

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready starter with active maintenance
- you use a different state management library like Redux or Zustand
- you need server-side rendering or a modern build setup
