However is simply using useState, useReducer, and the context API good enough? I highly recommend checking out Zustand! Dead simple and unopinionated state management!

Zustand is a small, fast and scaleable bearbones state-management solution. Has a comfy api based on hooks, isn't boilerplatey or opinionated, but still just enough to be explicit and flux-like.

Let me know what you think of Zustand!
