Thanks for your feedback. Several other comments point in the same direction: automatic (or assisted) handling of optimistic updates. I think this is actually relatively easy, since there are clear hooks in the Nexus Flux API to implement dispatch-time and update-time behaviour, but I will definitely provide an example, or even better, an implementation of this that just works out of the box.

This is a really cool implementation! I'm wondering if it wouldn't be possible to handle optimistic updates by submitting a request to the server and then submitting an optimistic response from the client to itself. Then, when the server comes back, you hook into the already present optimistic response and just confirm or deny it based on the response from the server. That way you keep as little state on the client as possible.

Awesome! Excited to see how this goes, especially with a bigger example!
