Integrate Redux about aeons-end-randomizer HOT 4 CLOSED

Why do we not make use of the new Context API instead? In other words: What is the exact use case that prevents us from using Context API in favor of redux?

context is nice but pretty barebones. Its not an alternative for redux and isn't meant to be. E.g. we miss out on debugging capabilities as well as organizational structure. While we could mimic some of this with excessive use of context and Reacts useReducer it still wont be the same. Furthermore it enables the use of middlewares, which will be pretty helpful going forward.

Context is nice for many things and is even used by redux under the hood. When I started the App it made sense to use it initially. But in my opinion the app reached a point where I would like to manage Application state in a sane way and Redux enables us to do so.

To add to the stuff above: I don't think adding redux is bad in any way. To me it feels like the app reached that point very naturally. And in hindsight I would say that it was a great move to start without it. This way I got a better feeling for when Redux is actually necessary and when we can live without it.

One MR, but integrate step by step:

• Nemesis
• Mages
• Supply
