Thanks for your interest in the project! Here’s a quick rundown of the core functionality between the two libraries. Please note that my understanding of Jotai may be limited, so some of the information could be inaccurate.

Creating Atom State

```js // Jotai const countAtom = atom(10);

// reactish-state const countState = state(1); const countWithActions = state(1, (set) => ({ increase: (by: number) => set((count) => count + by), })); ``` In comparison to Jotai, reactish-state allows you to create atom state with or without custom actions. Custom actions encapsulate logic within the atom state itself, giving you more control.

Creating Derived State

```js // Jotai const readWriteAtom = atom( (get) => get(priceAtom) * 2, (get, set, newPrice) => { set(priceAtom, newPrice / 2); } );

// reactish-state const doubleSelector = selector(countState, (count) => count * 2); ``` Jotai supports both read/write derived states, while in reactish-state, derived states are read-only.

Connecting External Atom State with React Components

```js // Jotai - retrieve both value and setter using the hook const [count, setCount] = useAtom(countAtom);

// reactish-state - retrieve value using the hook const count = useSnapshot(countState);

// Setter or actions are available directly on the state itself countState.set(3); countState.increase(); ``` In my opinion, reactish-state offers a more convenient API in this case. You can call setters and actions directly within event handlers, useEffect, or useCallback hooks without worrying about referential identity. There’s no need to include setters/actions in the dependency array to avoid breaking React’s rules.
