This isn&#x27;t strictly true. Though the workflow isn&#x27;t ideal yet, it&#x27;s perfectly possible to build a React project which is initially rendered on the server and then progressively enhanced. I&#x27;ve done it before, as have others.<p>In fact, my single biggest criteria for any tech I add to my stack is that it doesn&#x27;t get in the way of server-side rendering (the second biggest criteria is that it doesn&#x27;t add significant weight to the client-side JavaScript payload).
