Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

The Asynchronous State Handler pattern improves UX in web apps by decoupling data fetching from the UI. It wraps asynchronous queries with meta-queries that track the status (loading, success, error) of the data fetching process. This allows the UI to react dynamically to these states, displaying loading indicators or error messages when needed. The pattern can be implemented in React using a custom hook.
