Fantastic guide on integrating Web Workers into React! The use of useRef and useEffect for worker lifecycle management is a great touch. At Hashbyt, we’ve seen this approach significantly improve performance in data-heavy apps. Curious how would you handle error states or retries within the worker thread?

Hello! Can I interest you in writing the same piece but using the [@wjfe/async-workers](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wjfe/async-workers) package I released today? I'm looking for good testers. Since I don't do React, I think I'm not the ideal person for the job.
