⚛️ React keeps evolving - and with it, the way we build smooth, responsive UIs

In the past, every keystroke in a search box would trigger heavy filtering immediately, leading to:

  • Laggy input
  • High resource usage
  • Frustrating delays for users

Old Approach

Now with useTransition + useDeferredValue, React lets us:

  • Keep typing snappy (urgent updates are instant)
  • Run expensive filtering in the background
  • Scale better with large lists
  • Deliver fluid, responsive user experiences

New Approach

This small shift in how we handle state updates is a game-changer for building modern, data-heavy apps.

Have you tried these hooks in your projects yet? I’d love to hear your thoughts 👇
