I Am Hooked on React
summary
Demonstrates how React Hooks (useState, useEffect, useContext) let functional components match class components by showing concrete code: a ticking clock using intervals with proper set/clear, a data-fetch example with cleanup, and a custom hook managing user state. Covers compatibility limits (React 16.7 alpha at the time) and recommends gradually adopting hooks and using custom hooks for timers and fetch to simplify lifecycle and state logic.
