A new open-source project called preact-react-reconciler enables Preact to function as a React reconciler, allowing unmodified React code to run on Preact without bundler aliases. This enables simultaneous usage of React DOM and Preact on the same page with the same React package instance. The project represents a novel approach to interoperability between the two popular UI libraries.
Background
Preact is a lightweight alternative to React with similar API but smaller bundle size, while React's reconciler is the core algorithm that manages component updates and rendering.
