Overview

OverWatch is a state management library designed specifically for React and Next.js, emphasizing simplicity and performance without the complexity often associated with other solutions like Redux. Its lightweight architecture, inspired by Zustand, enables developers to manage both component-level and global state effectively. OverWatch prioritizes a positive developer experience by minimizing boilerplate and providing clear tracking of state and events.

Built on a robust foundation of React hooks and TypeScript, OverWatch stands out by ensuring 100% type safety for predictable development. Developers seeking an elegant solution for their state management needs will find OverWatch to be a compelling choice that balances functionality and developer-friendly design.

Features
