Passed around local state vs global state is indeed an interesting topic. Honestly I think both are nice in good hands. The library I made supports both of them, but I did not mention local state management for the sake of simplicity. You can find it here: https://github.com/solkimicreb/react-easy-state#easycomp (it will take 1 min to read). Doesn't it get clumsy to pass state as props to deeply nested comps?

I understand why you might feel like this, but don't judge too quickly (; Easy State can do (pretty much) anything MobX does. It just does it in the background without the extra explicit syntax (observable, action, observble modifiers, etc). You can easily use it like MobX (with an external store) if you do something like this: https://github.com/solkimicreb/react-easy-state/tree/master/.... If you are interested in a MobX vs nx-observe (the library behind Easy State) comparison check this (rather old) article: https://nx-framework.com/blog/public/mobx-vs-nx/. Let me know if you think that it lacks some important features. Thx for the response! Edit: it would take a rather small modification to make Easy State work like MobX, but I think that it is not the best way. In the future I could add a @store export for making MobX like stores tho
