Hey Chad,
What do you use https://github.com/andreypopp/react-async for?
I was trying to wrap my head around that the read the warning:
"WARNING: Keeping data in React component's state is a bad idea. React component's state is for purely UI state, like "if this dropdown openned or closed?". In light of that, React Async is an anti-pattern so you shouldn't use it unless you are 100% sure you need it"
