 *Concise async action state tracking for React apps*
 
-No need to rearrange the app's shared state setup and to rewrite the async actions.
+- Shared or local pending state tracking
+- Without rewrites in the app's shared state or async actions' internals
+- With a concise API
+
+```diff
++ let [state, withState] = usePendingState("fetch-items");
+
+- fetchItems().then(setItems);
++ withState(fetchItems()).then(setItems);
+
++ if (!state.complete) return <p>Loading...</p>;
+```
 
 Installation: `npm i @t8/react-pending`

-Objective: Track the pending state of the async `fetchItems()` action to tell the user whether the UI is busy or encountered an error (preferably without rewriting the action and the app's state management).

In our setup, there are two components rendering their content with regard to the current state of `fetchItems()`.
