What Hacker News says

Looking at how CounterDisplay and CounterControls work at the bottom of the README, the idea behind this is similar to Valtio (direct updates and changes are pushed on update), except with a lot more manual work. Valtio uses proxies and hooks to get the effect of CounterModel, CounterModelProvider, and useCounterModel automatically, without having to write them yourself. For comparison, Valtio has the same kind of "counter" example at the top of their README (first and third code blocks): https://github.com/pmndrs/valtio?tab=readme-ov-file#wrap-you...
In React 19
Check out valtio if you want to do proxy based state management in react. https://github.com/pmndrs/valtio https://codesandbox.io/s/bitter-night-mm4xes?file=/src/App.j... // a.js import { proxy } from "valtio"; export const a = proxy([]); a.push(1); // App.jsx import { useSnapshot } from "valtio"; import { a } from "./a"; const add = () => a.push(a.length + 1); export default function App() { const snap = useSnapshot(a); return ( <div> <ul> {snap.map((value, index) => ( <li key={index}>{`${index}=>${value}`}</li> ))} </ul> <button onClick={add}>Add element</button> </div> ); }
In Vue3/Nuxt3 poor adoption compared to React
This is really good feedback. 1. We are going to remove Mobx. It will also reduce the learning curve for our customers. This change won't affect our API and will be fully backward compatible. We are considering Valtio as an alternative [0]. 2. As much as we can help it, we are not going to embed iframes. We'd love to deliver a native, and lean experience. 3. We already provide a network layer library [1] and want to offer more headless components. Can you give us some feedback on what you'd like to see? We are very inspired by Downshift's approach [2].
