I love useRef, but it lacks the lazy initializer functionality found in other hooks (useState / useReducer / useMemo). useRef({ x: 0, y: 0 }) creates an object { x: 0, y: 0 } on every render, but only uses it when mounting — it subsequent renders it's thrown away. With useState,...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
