Yeah, curried functions are perfect for this. The arrow syntax lends itself to this.

valueChange = (key) => {
  return function (e) {
    var obj= {};
    state[key] = e.target.value; //<-- this is a bug btw.
    this.setState(obj);
  }.bind(this);
}

becomes

valueChange = key => e => this.setState(oldState => ({
  ...oldState,
  [key]: e.target.value
}))

github is not the holy grail nor twitter is, as reaction microsoft bought github i would rather login with gitlab than with github. even better would be, if you handle user login directly on your site.
