Welcome to the very first issue of the Stately Newsletter! I'm really excited to begin an open, thought-provoking discussion on how we manage state in the ever-evolving, modern software and web ecosystem.
Who am I?
My name is David (@davidkpiano). I created XState, so I'll share a lot of progress on XState and related tools here (there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes). I work at Microsoft, so I have to wear many hats in a few different languages (JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, C#, Scala, etc.) and work on different projects with all sorts of complex data- and state-related problems. I'm also passionate about animated, interactive user interfaces, so expect me to talk a lot about that, too.
But enough about me. This newsletter is about you. I want to have an open discussion with you about the state management problems you face in your day-to-day work. We'll be exploring all sorts of past research and new insights about different state concepts, techniques, tools, and more that will help you be productive.
