If you know React, you can build agents: flue mirrors React's primitives

The author introduces the agent framework flue (@flueai), whose primitives closely mimic React — so React developers can jump straight into building agents.
- Components → agent functions: where a React component describes UI for props/state, an agent function describes an agent's prompt, model, tools, and behavior
- Hooks and lifecycle: React's lifecycle revolves around reconciling a UI tree, while the agent lifecycle revolves around durable agent work; hooks modify and extend agent state, e.g. usePersistentState, useModel, useTool
The author says this mental model made flue click instantly, and invites others to take it for a spin.
