Why?

We started building the search experience of the french Cultural Heritage Open Platform with ReactiveSearch, a well-known search UI components lib for React. After some weeks, we realized we had spent a lot of time tweaking and hacking the lib; we had rewrote almost every components ourselves. We opened issues and pull requests on the repository, but it seemed the lib was a bit stuck in a rewrite process. We found out that we need a simple lib that can be easily extended with a similar API, we created this one. This lib has many less feature than others, it's not even a decent competitor. But since it helped us building a search experiences, it has been released. Hope it could help you!
