React and the Art of Gamification

Abstract

Learn how React 19’s Server Components and the new React Compiler make classic gamification patterns—XP bars, streaks, achievements—blazing fast. We’ll build a live quest app that streams UI from the server, auto‑memoizes score updates, and even generates on‑the‑fly challenges with Gemini AI. You’ll leave with a starter repo and a checklist for turning any React project into an experience users hate to quit.
