A companion repo for a YouTube tutorial covering the standard React hooks (useState, useEffect, useCallback, useMemo, useReducer, useRef, useContext, useImperativeHandle, useLayoutEffect). One file per hook, no frills. Aimed squarely at beginners following along with the video.
Each hook gets its own isolated directory, so you can read one file without noise from the others. The scope is tight — no framework on top of React, no build complexity beyond create-react-app defaults. useImperativeHandle and useLayoutEffect are included, which most beginner tutorials skip.
The README is essentially empty — without the YouTube video this repo is nearly useless as a standalone reference. Last push was August 2024 and the repo shows no signs of maintenance. The fork count (358) vastly outnumbers stars (391), which usually means people cloned it for coursework rather than found it genuinely useful. No tests, no TypeScript, and the examples are so minimal they don't show real-world patterns where these hooks actually earn their keep.
