📍 Open Source · Fifty hooks for the patterns that repeat, like patterns in code we keep writing
Who
A developer who started building with only 4 followers on Medium, and quietly shipped the 1.0 version that May. on Twitter now, still posting rarely, letting the code speak.
The Moment
. The frustration of rebuilding the same patterns — state management, UI interactions, browser APIs — led to hooks that handle what developers write over and over.
What It Does
. It's the invisible foundation that manages local storage as React state, handles disclosure patterns, wraps browser APIs into React hooks.
Impact
weekly downloads — 1,453,886 if you count the current stats. since 2021. Yet Vitaly remains in the shadows while developers everywhere use his patterns without knowing his name.
Connections
. Every Mantine component depends on these hooks; break them, and the entire ecosystem stops working.
