I decided to dive into React Hooks last week to level up my frontend skills. Starting with `useState`, I built a simple counter app. It was exciting to see state management without class components!

Then I tackled `useEffect` for side effects, like fetching data. I struggled with infinite loops at first, but adding proper dependencies fixed it. Hooks are a game-changer, and I’m hooked (pun intended)!

Next goal: Master `useContext` for state management across components.
