ESMify: React Module Upgrade Service

Developers face friction when integrating React into modern Node.js workflows due to the library’s lack of a pure ESM build, leading to dependency maintenance headaches and delayed security fixes. ESMify automatically transforms React into a fully ESM‑compatible bundle, continuously injects the latest security patches, and offers CI/CD hooks for instant, dependable deployment.
