Zustand's `create`: A Factory for Global State Hooks

Zustand's `create` function is a factory for building global state hooks. You pass it a function that defines your initial state and the actions that can modify it, and `create` returns a custom hook for use in your components.

To replace a primitive value or the entire state object, you must pass `true` as the second argument: `set(newState, true)`.
