Simple state management. Tiny, fast, scalable.
Plain language
What is it?
A simple way to manage shared state in your React app — like keeping track of which user is logged in, what's in a cart, or what filters are active across many components.
Why use it at a hackathon?
When multiple parts of your app need to share information (like a user's selections or current status), Zustand keeps it organized without complex setup.
Common use
Tracking session state in health or crisis apps, managing filter state in civic data tools, storing user preferences across pages.
