If you have a good, generalizable alternative, maybe you should try turning it into a library. My feeling is that “database you can query” was the idea of Redux. It worked out all right, but the performance bottlenecks were kind of bad because everything that queried the store had to subscribe to every update and do some dirty check which eats up performance. The solution was to use Redux sparingly, preferring local state for things that need to be updated frequently, kind of like an L1 cache. But again, that leads to fragmentation.

I think Recoil is supposed to fix this issue but I haven’t learned it yet.
