I am relatively new to react, one of the first things I noticed was that state management and REST-based data retrieval were funky and lacked a streamlined solution. I was lucky to join as this project was getting some momentum, since it accounts for server and client states and obviated the need (for my purposes) to use redux. It is hook-first in its approach and handles a lot of things I don’t want to deal with. It seems like Apollo has some similar / good stuff, and the author has spoken to how Apollo influenced his build of this library. I’m not yet on the node / graphql train, though so this fit the bill well.
