I'm building a realtime-ish dashboard app to visualize and animate statistics culled from a transaction clearinghouse database.<p>I've got everything up and running with Node + socket.io piping data to a client visualizing the stats using epoch.js, a charting library built off D3, and updating the actual in-page figures with jQuery.<p>My plan was just to implement jQuery text animation libraries to give a nice effect to the numbers and pass it off to the designer.<p>But is this the sort of thing that would make a good case study for react? I've been reading about it and wanting to use it for a project, but it seems more for dynamic interfaces than one-way streams of information. Am I wrong? If it would be a good idea to implement it, why?
