Redux and Web Workers on the Frontend
summary
A small library called Redux worker moves reducers into a Web Worker so heavy state computation runs off the main thread and the UI stays near 60 frames per second. Implementation exposes two functions create worker and apply worker, uses webpack to emit a worker bundle, and relies on reducers being pure. Demo runs an n Queens solver in the worker, the UI stops blocking, and the approach demonstrably works.
