In 2025, async JavaScript looks very different. With tools like Promise.any, Promise.allSettled, and Array.fromAsync, many developers wonder if Promise.all is still worth it. The short answer is yes — but only if you know when and why to use it.

  1. That was a cool project, thanks. The only thing is, my localStorage was being empty after refreshing the page and all notes were going out.

    I changed the useEffect for getItem, following:

    //get the saved notes and add them to the array
    useEffect(() => {
    const data = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem(“Notes”));
    if (data && data.length > 0 ) {
    setNotes(data);
    }
    }, []);

    And now it works.
