This is pretty wild, because #Skiff clearly started as a #Notion competitor (and I evaluated it as a replacement to use at #DistributeAid), and now they sold to Notion and will shut down.

#JSONata 2 has switched from a synchronous to an asynchronous API (which brings speed improvements), but now I am looking for the idiomatic #React way to deal with a lot of async calls in render functions.

Stuff like this:

- {!isHidden(response) && <Response />}

this wont work with `await isHidden`. So do I need to put all of these expressions in `useEffect`?
