Why is this a better alternative?
Kin Store is a reactive state library that allows you to start simple without upfront tax and only add structure when your app earns it.
Main highlights:
- zero-dependency
- framework-agnostic
- 100% typesafe
- tiny
- no hidden magic
The core has three primitives
createStore: create a minial store with justget,set,subscribe. Nothing else.withPlugins: add capabilities (methods, reducers, middleware) in a linear way.derive: compose stores into new ones. It tracks what you read, not a graph you maintain.
Plugins (persist, history, immer, devtools, ...) and framework bindings are opt-in via separate packages.
