In the past I used Redux extensively - and I have only good things to say about Redux. I recently started using React Context and found I was much more productive, to the extent that I went back and ripped out Redux code. The new hooks thing with useContext makes using context even easier.

Learning Redux, especially the "single source of truth" thing was very helpful, but my code is now simpler, easier to understand and faster to write.

I would recommend checking out React context and hooks. I would also recommend watching the Redux videos by Dan Abramov, even if you don't use Redux.
