Thanks for mentioning my project, Reflux.

I initially thought that the suggested implementation by Facebook was a bit weird because it requires a lot of boiler plate code.

For the longest time I disliked using magic strings for type checking since it breaks the concept of polymorphism. In Javascript it is even more weird considering it is a dynamic language. So I fixed that by moving the type specifics (which in Flux's case is mostly about handling events) into the actions and stores themselves.

Thanks to a contributor we also provide a mixin for React components that adds automatic unsubscription on componentWillUnmount and provides a listenTo method in the components to subscribe to actions and stores.

It works both server-side (available at npm) and client-side (available as bower package or can be built in browserify from npm package).

Thanks for posting - I'm glad to learn about reflux here. I started adding flux to an application as prescribed and thought there were many strange and unnecessary steps. All the flux libraries seemed equally complicated. Instead I went with a simple event emitter approach, which is basically Reflux without the nice API. I will certainly give it a try.
