In this talk, I will talk about how I joined the development of Zustand. It started with another library of mine, which is similar to Zustand. My involvement was from Zustand v3 and it's currently v4. Philosophy of Zustand is being small, and we improve it with keeping the philosophy. Finally, we compare Zustand with Jotai, which is another state management library that I develop.

Jotai is a state management library. We have been developing it primarily for React, but it's conceptually not tied to React. It this talk, we will see how Jotai atoms work and learn about the mental model we should have. Atoms are framework-agnostic abstraction to represent states, and they are basically just functions. Understanding the atom abstraction will help designing and implementing states in your applications with Jotai
