Congratulations on the launch. I have a question regarding, what state change libraries does it support. For example, does it support Redux? And how it is different from the Redux development chrome plugin, which have some similar functionalities.

@telltrail Hi Georgi, Thank you, we really appreciate it! Reactime does support Redux, and supports Hooks and Facebook's new state management library, Recoil(v0.0.13). Attached below is a link to an article we wrote on Recoil it if you'd like to go more in depth. The Redux development chrome plugin is what inspired Reactime so it does share the same core functionalities such as time-jumping, component tree visualization, but Reactime equips developers with a way more robust suite of visualizations using D3/React. Key features are being able to hone in on particular components, more interactivity with the nodes, and the ability to highlight which nodes maps to DOM elements. Not sure if still applicable, but Redux DevTools had required some code overhead to be in your application in order to work. We designed our application to not require that under the hood. You can just install extension, run your app on localhost, and it would work without having to make any additions in your codebase. Hope this helped, and please let us know if you have any more questions! Recoil Medium: https://medium.com/@CSVince/reco...

@telltrail @csvince @vincent_nguyen6 That sounds much better than the redux chrome plugin. And I think you are right about the redux plugin needing additional setup I still have a library in the dev setup of my product which allows the plugin to work. Congratulations on the launch again and I hope Reactime finds more recongnition
