Talk Proposal: How using xState simplified our complex screens

[benjaminkomen]

• Draft Title: How using xState simplified our complex screens
• Length: 10-15 minute presentation
• Links: https://stately.ai/docs/
• Which dates, particularly Tue/Wed/Thu during the 2nd/3rd week of a month, are you likely available? I can do April 23rd

My team is developing a mobile app using React Native. One of our screens accumulated increasingly more complex states, starting with a view and edit mode, then updates being in progress etc. Modelling all this with combinations of React useState booleans was becoming unmaintainable. We solved this by introducing xState, where we modelled everything using a state machine. In this talk I will explain how xState helped us solve this problem and hopefully inspire you to give it a try, in case you have a similar appropriate use case.

Hi @benjaminkomen,

XState is pretty much my favorite topic, I would love if you could demonstrate its value to our audience.

Can I put you down for April 23rd?
