This is so cool, but does it have any real-case scenarios?
I can think of a few:
- we can use it to serve different qualities of images or videos for optimization/performance (e.g: substitute
srcattribute) based ondeviePixelRatio - for WebGL projects and features that require Canvas we can adjust height and width of Canvas based on output of this hook dynamically.
- it can be used alongside media queries to achieve better responsive design.
For 1. and 3. I believe you should use instead css media queries directly in you css solution. For webgl it's not clear… most probably you want to use it in imperative way. If you mean to use it alongside react three fiber you might want to it to their set of hooks instead.
