@mattly my use-case is where I want to find the first visible (within the bounds of it’s parent) component, and update the state on it. So it’s something to call on did-mount. I think I will just revert to indexes and update the state used to build all child components at the idx of the visible component

@mattly: thanks!

I’ve found that many things I used to use components with children for in regular React aren’t related to ‘data’, they’re effectively functions that return html and maybe respond to helper functions,

so instead of using components for those things in Om I’m just using actual functions

@mattly: will keep that in mind, thanks again
