A new paradigm for React state management that is as new as it is old.

If you’ve been paying attention to Twitter over the past few weeks, you may have noticed the recent spike in discussions about how either Redux sucks or Redux is awesome

or maybe you’re just like

Unstated

Well, (coincidentally?) there happens to be a state library that is new, tiny, and pretty awesome, and is something that could bridge the divide between the Redux and SetState enthusiasts or garner the interest of MobX fans, and that is Unstated by James Kyle (jamiebuilds on Twitter).

From the docs:

Unstated is designed to build on top of the patterns already set out by React components and context.
