Today I’m diving into React State and Hooks

For context: React is a JavaScript library used to build interactive web applications. If components are the structure, then state is what makes them alive — it allows a page to change, react, and update without refreshing everything.

So today’s focus is understanding how React manages data over time using state, and how hooks simplify that process in modern React.

I’ll share what I learn by the end of the day — hopefully with some real clarity, not just theory

Have a productive day fam. Stay consistent 🤍

Back when I was learning web dev, I had this problem…
I’d discover insane tools, get excited, use them once… then forget they even existed 😭

So I built something for myself, a simple page to keep all the good stuff in one place.
I called it CodingZero.

Fast forward to now… I randomly revisited it and ngl, I was like:
“yo… this actually had potential 👀”

So I rebuilt it properly:

fresh, clean UI
smoother browsing
a LOT more resources (not just random links)
better organization so you actually find things fast

And this time, I also added something new that I really care about:
🔥 showcasing awesome projects built by the community

Some gems already on there:

blyp.dev
pine.roggy.site
farming-labs.dev

If you're a dev, designer, or just someone who loves discovering useful things, this might actually be worth bookmarking.

Check it out:
codingzero.vercel.app

Also… if you’ve built something cool, I might add it 👀

repetition is the mother of skill!

goodnight fam😇

Most of the things we want are just one step away—asking and communicating clearly. Let’s have the courage to do it.

Happy and beautiful Jumu’ah, my peeps 🥰

Yesterday, I sat down to learn React state and hooks, and honestly, it felt like my brain refused to cooperate. Nothing made sense, no clear pattern, and every concept looked unnecessarily complicated.

Today, it’s almost funny. The same concepts feel simple, logical, and even obvious. Nothing magical changed in the material itself—it’s just clearer now.

Conclusion: either repetition is the real strategy, or sometimes the best debugging tool is sleep.

So let me share what i know about State & Hooks in simple words

State
State is the memory of your application.
It stores values that can change over time.

Examples:

* Number of clicks
* User input
* Toggle status (on/off)

When state changes, the UI updates automatically.

---

Hooks
Hooks are functions that allow you to use React features in functional components.

Key hooks:

useState
Used to store and update state.

useEffect
Used to run side effects when something changes (e.g., updating the page title or fetching data).

---

Core Flow

User action → State changes → UI updates

Check out this channel, for real. Luna’s on another level! 😂

This is really beautiful🥰

you can literally brainwash yourself into getting excited about anything… you just need to keep feeding your brain content, info, and energy around it, and it starts to click. At first it feels forced… then suddenly you’re actually into it and you might even want it bad.

Specially PMs, I kindly ask you to take a moment and fill out this form let’s support our brother with the research he’s working on 🙏🏽

My fellow creators, please help by sharing this as well. Let’s show up for him and make him proud. I know you all እንደማታሳፍሩኝ ❤️

Monday morning… and imagine an AI that builds exactly what you’re thinking — no exhausting back-and-forth 😄

For developers who struggle with design or UI, I just came across something interesting: UXPilot AI.

It lets you generate UI designs directly from a prompt, and you can edit the results right there. No long iterations, no guessing — just describe what you want and refine it.

Not saying it replaces real design skills, but it’s a solid tool when you need speed or inspiration.

Might be worth trying if UI is slowing you down

And @CoolioCodes was actually super awesome ... he put everything together and organized it really well. Honestly, he might be the most extroverted person I’ve ever seen 😁

You guys should definitely follow him. He’s planning to make dev events a regular thing and do a lot more of them. Let’s get him to 1K by tomorrow too 🔥

@selfmadecoder

let`s hit 110 subs today guys

anyone here doesn't know this guy please check he does amazing things.

1 IDE.
3 Chrome tabs:
• one running the server
• one for AI/Google
• one for YouTube (because… balance)

And somehow… everything freezes the moment I move my cursor.
At this point, my PC isn’t just slow — it’s sending a message.
“Upgrade me.” Every. Single. Second.


The only problem?
It’s not even letting me work enough to afford the upgrade 😭


The only good thing?
Whatever YouTube is playing in the background doesn’t freeze…
and honestly, that’s the only thing motivating me to keep going
