I'm the author. It's unbelievably amazing to be on spot #1 in here!

Thank you to whoever uploaded it!

I'm happy to answer any questions

I learned a lot about useEffect thanks. I initially clicked for the visual explanation but ended up enjoying the written explanation more.

I think the problem with your visuals is the lack of depth in the colors. Especially because of the gradients, all the parts kind of blend together, so there’s no clear distinction between a parent component and its children for example. I think having clear distinct colored boxes with borders would help.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! This is something I've struggled quite a bit to improve, and I think the visuals for part 2 are better than part 1.

But you're right, I'm not satisfied yet with how the boxes show, I'll try to improve them for part 3 (and other articles that'll use them).

I really like your style of explaining. Your diagrams are ace too. I like how they’re not too polished, they’re focused on conveying your message. You have a real talent for explaining stuff

That's some seriously amazing feedback, thank you for your kind words! It means a lot to have people enjoy my writing and the visuals.

I spend a lot of time with these articles to have them as clear as possible.

This is a wonderful guide and fits my internal monologue for explaining things well. Thanks for writing it!

Thank you for reading it and for your kind words! It means a lot to see this here and for people to have enjoyed it.

I'll write many more such guides!

Hey this is really well done congrats! You should totally make one about usememo, useref, usecallback etc!

Thank you so much! That's in my pipeline. I'm going to work first on an in-depth explanation of useEffect since it's the most used one, and I'll cover all the hooks at some point.

The only thing is that a lot of the same ideas are repeating themselves, but the specifics are worth explaining.

This is an extremely well written article. Kudos for writing it!

Thank you for your kind words! More to come :)
