Svelte + FSM turned one of the most convoluted UXes I've every dealt with into something manageable and almost pleasant.

This is a complex sales kiosk that must operate work limited or flapping network connectivity entire handling huge spikes in usage.

Svelte itself jusy gets out of the way, you don't fight it. The FSM makes your mental model explicit.

Something like "ok, we're halfway through the complex terminal registration process, the last network request timed out and there user pressed the back button, now what?"

With boolean flags its a mess.

XState is a powerful library with comprehensive documentation. Keeping the documentation handy while building your next app with XState will be invaluable.

XState is an excellent library that simplifies the utilization of actors in JavaScript applications. While this article focuses on using React, these principles apply equally well to other frameworks. In fact, they can be implemented anywhere JavaScript is executed.

In this article, I want to share a personal journey of discovery in the world of state management. My path led me to XState, a tool that I believe is the best choice for managing state in modern applications like React, Angular, Vue, and others. This isn't just a professional advice; it's a personal recommendation based on real-world experience.

You add the current user state to a React Context or state management library, read from it on the top bar, and write to it after a user signs in. Done. No big deal, right?

Lastly, I know that I've omitted many great tools like XState, React Query, and SWR. These tools are utilities that are very scalable in their own right, but aren't full replacements for a good state manager.
