react-use-promise VS react-hook-thunk-reducer

I'll follow steps from episode 14, and create a new React electron app. We'll need one extra library react-use-promise as we'll be making extensive use of promises in this project, and using bare useEffect for them gets rather awkward.

If you're coming from React background, it would take a few useEffect and usePromise calls that we don't need to do, as Svelte figures it all out. Or we could move a lot of that logic to a store or custom hook, or such, but Svelte is expressive enough that a regular component will do just fine, at least for now.

I've been playing around with useReducer and useContext and it was trivially easy to implement a functional action/reducer system that worked just like redux but glued together with react built-ins. I'm also not sure what the difference between a custom hook and a middleware is, they seem like the same thing to me. Custom hooks are easy to implement, for example here's the equivalent to a thunk "middleware": https://github.com/nathanbuchar/react-hook-thunk-reducer/blob/master/src/thunk-reducer.js. You can keep wrapping your reducer in as many custom hooks as you like to handle whatever side-effects you need, just like you can with redux middleware.
