And then there's Vue.js which essentially has MobX functionality built in. When you want to update the state, you just...update the state, which can be a plain JS object that knows nothing about the front-end framework. I've used it for several medium-size projects and haven't gotten close to needing anything like Redux or Vuex.
Yeah, although when I played with Vue a couple years ago it seemed like it wasn't quite as powerful as MobX (particularly when you start stacking up a graph of computed values, or when you want to create side-effects of your own). But definitely a similar idea.
