A while back I wrote an article with a title I stand behind to this day: React doesn’t need a state management tool. There’s already a library for everything, and each new one just adds another decision to an exhausting pile.

So naturally, the next thing I did was build a React library. Before you close the tab — give me a chance. I think I have a decent excuse, and it doesn’t actually contradict a word of that article.
