🗣️ **Talks**
➡️ **[Alexey Taktarov](https://twitter.com/mlfrg) – React Tricks: Fast, Fit and Fun**
*In this talk, I'll uncover some tricks and hacks in React that I learned while maintaining a micro-library (2KB Router). We'll discuss performance and size optimizations, as well as the importance of keeping object references stable when passing them down as props to React components.*
*I'd like to cover the non-standard use of the useState hook, cloneElement API for component composition, the useSyncExternalStore hook introduced in React 18, and its caveats; as well as lesser-known non-standard hooks such as useEvent and more. To demonstrate these tricks, we'll built a fake multiplayer client component.*
