Mistakes I made building React Async
summary
A library called React Async handles promise states, cancellation and races and currently sees 9,000 weekly downloads; early releases broke users so the workflow now uses publishes alpha tagged releases and deprecation rather than unpublishing. CI runs compatibility tests against older and next React, examples run unit tests, and the repo uses lerna and relative-deps plus pika for modern packages. Type definitions proved fragile so the codebase is migrated to TypeScript and that migration ships as an alpha, with integrations and contributor growth now the focus.
