Hey congrats! People will complain about the package being to small or trivial, but just keep on creating. We all start somewhere, and hooks are a fun thing to experiment with.

It's true that most folks probably would do their own implementation of this and the GPL license would be a non-starter for most projects, but if it suits your needs and you've learned something in the process, more power to you. :)

browser compatibility/other edge case handling would be one decent reason to utilize a package for otherwise straightforward implementations. The MDN docs have a helpful walkthrough for feature detecting localStorage that would make a useful addition to your library. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Storage...

Ooh, thanks. Must have a look

“Journey” is a bit of a stretch here, no? :)

This is a few lines of pretty trivial code

Can you please review the Show HN guidelines? I appreciate that you're not exactly flaming the OP here, but still, the idea is to respond more charitably to people's work. If you know more than others, find a constructive way to express that, such as by teaching them—and by extension, the rest of us—something related to what they've done so far.

This is a great point, and on a second reading my comment did come off as a little insensitive -- will leave it up to give others context and make this a teachable moment for all of us to improve the level of discourse :)

Maybe he meant more hooks, in general. For me that is true, hooks really are a very inspirational pattern

Getting the tooling up and running took awhile.

Must've been pretty hard to type `npx create-react-app my-app`

Please don't be a jerk on HN, regardless of how correct you are or feel you are.

Sorry Dang and Wolco.
