Michael Jackson - Composing Behavior in React or Why React Hooks are Awesome
summary
Builds a small workout app and proves hooks are just functions that compose real behaviors instead of abstract ideas The repo shows implemented hooks like usePersistentState that syncs a state value to localStorage, a history-based useUndo that stores a values array plus an index to undo and redo, a useLogger that wraps dispatch with a ref and effect to log actions and resulting state, and a thunk wrapper that lets dispatch accept async function actions All demos run live and the undo redo and logger behaviors work as shown
