@danixsoft/hooks
Open-source, SSR-safe React hooks library
In short: @danixsoft/hooks is an in-house DanixSoft product (Open Source / Developer Tools): Open-source, SSR-safe React hooks library. Daniyal Alam built it — product decisions, architecture and code. Live at react-hooks.danixsoft.com.
A TypeScript React hooks library published to npm under the MIT licence: 40+ SSR-safe hooks with zero runtime dependencies, shipped as ESM and CommonJS, with a documentation site and generated API reference.

The problem
Teams re-implement the same browser hooks — storage, media queries, debouncing, observers, timers — in every project, and naïve versions break under server-side rendering.
The solution
One well-tested package of isomorphic hooks with React as the only peer dependency and side-effect-free exports, so bundlers keep only what is imported.
My role
I built it: the commit history of its repository is mine — product decisions, architecture and code.

Open-source library maintained by DanixSoft (MIT).
Technical challenges
The engineering problems this build had to get right.
- Hooks that stay safe during server rendering
- Zero runtime dependencies without giving up ergonomics
Architecture
Implementation — what shipped
Engineering notes
Lesson for similar Open Source builds: design for hooks that stay safe during server rendering and zero runtime dependencies without giving up ergonomics up front — these are the parts that are expensive to retrofit once the feature list grows.
