Isn't useSyncExternalStore the recommended hook for API requests? And for making API requests I think most people recommend using a library. React-query, RTK or swr for example. For accessing browser apis useEffects are the way to go, but those are usually extremely easy to understand in my experience. Or just use a library that provides the needed functionality.

Per the blog post announcing it, it's not recommended that you use that hook directly, only in libraries: > useSyncExternalStore is intended to be used by libraries, not application code. https://react.dev/blog/2022/03/29/react-v18#usesyncexternalstore https://react.dev/blog/2022/03/29/react-v18#usesyncexternals...

  I know. So either use an existing library or build your own. But don't useEffect instead.

    Yeah, just noting that link for context (I don’t think it’s documented on the hook’s own page?)
