" summary

Argues Redux is unnecessary for most React apps and demonstrates a concrete refactor replacing it with React Context and small hook-based stores like Zustand. Walks through migrating a demo app from 300 LOC to 90 LOC, removes action/middleware boilerplate, and shows a measurable bundle-size drop (~15%) and simpler update logic. Builds a working refactor, runs the app and unit tests, and reports fewer lines, fewer indirections, and easier async flows compared with a Redux setup.
