## What it is
Reactide is a cross-platform desktop IDE built with Electron, dedicated to React web application development. It bundles an integrated Node server, a custom browser simulator with live reloading, a visual component/state tree, and an integrated terminal.

## Use cases
- develop react applications in a dedicated ide
- prototype react components with live reloading
- visualize react component tree and state flow
- avoid switching between browser, editor, and server
- bootstrap react projects with create react app integration
- run terminal commands inside the ide

## When to choose
- you want an all-in-one desktop environment for react development
- you need visual inspection of component hierarchy and props/state
- you want zero-config server and hot reloading out of the box

## When to avoid
- you prefer modern editors like vs code with react extensions
- you need actively maintained tooling with recent react features
- you work primarily with frameworks other than react

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, gui, editor, web-framework
- domain: developer-tools, frontend, web-development, desktop-applications
- platform: cross-platform, windows
- tags: react, ide, redux-devtools, live-reloading, component-visualization, integrated-terminal, desktop, electron, macos, linux, nodejs
