Redux Alternative

Nice! Seems more "raw context" than most of the simple state management libraries I've seen so far!

I also created a library for state management including Context, the main goal as well was not to rerender everything when a fragment of a Context changes (which is IMHO the main limitation of using Context):

https://statux.dev/

    const Counter = () => {
      const [counter, setCounter] = useStore('counter');
      const onClick = () => setCounter(counter + 1);
      return <button onClick={onClick}>{counter}</button>;
    }

    // ...

    const App = () => (
      <Store counter={0}>
        // ... App
      </Store>
    );

There's probably dozens like ours! It's fun, simplifies and improves development and it's not so heavy-handed as Redux (+ all the concepts behind).

To me, actions is the insight in the reducer approach popular in React community. Actions and reducers force you to clearly define the logic of what can happen in a way that keeps it decoupled from the UI or some global state. When used properly, this actually helps arrive at a better and more sustainable design overall.

I’m working on a somewhat complex app and for a long time was sticking to plain useState and contexts, and lately I’m finding that moving it to a reducer (plain React, no Redux) has positive effects on architecture.

That said, the devil’s in the details—I personally think the approach is sometimes misused, including sadly certain tutorial materials. I’m reasonably new to reducers though.

Redux Toolkit is the suggested way to use redux these days and has immer built-in.

Redux Toolkit is the official Redux solution now and is what you're looking for.

I've been using pullstate as a Redux alternative, found it to be way more ergonomic. Uses immer for updates, and the move away from action-creators, actions, reducers, etc. cuts down on a huge amount of boilerplate, as well as making it more type-safe when using Typescript.

without a provider you cannot run many instances of the same store in the same App. (that's how I can run 3 times the same App in my demo https://taverne.uralys.com/demo)

zustand inspired me a lot to create the custom hooks for La Taverne, and you can also create your {store, dispatch} to use anywhere without React (and providers)

How does La Taverne compare to Redux Toolkit which already removes a lot o boilerplate and includes redux thunk
