it’s funny that if I haven’t written a question in a while, I feel a certain resistance . I admire those who can ask questions freely; I can fall into being a bit sheepish; it is out of a respect I hold for the Clojure c…

I’m just about to attempt to figure out how to use React Portals (Cf createPortal) in a Helix project. I haven’t found any mention of it in the Helix repo. If anybody has any pointers (say, to documentation), it would be…
