Improve your SEO/discoverability by explaining if this library replaces Zustand/Jotai for global state management

[PaulRBerg]

hey, I'm new to Effect, and I've seen your library mentioned on Reddit here.

One of the most difficult things when learning a new paradigm like Effect is mapping out its features against existing solutions.

We are currently using Zustand to manage the global state in our app. Since I've started to learn Effect, I've vacillated between "keeping Zustand as-is" and "refactoring Zustand to an Effect service".

Now that I see effect-atom exists, I am more inclined toward the latter approach. However, it's possible that I've misunderstood what this library does, hence my request - could you please clarify in the README whether this is meant as a replacement for libraries like Zustand/Jotai?

That's one thing I've noticed about the Effect ecosystem. It seems rather mature and well-liked, with the Effect Days etc. but when trying to Google for packages/information, sometimes it feels like it doesn't exist.

For example, effect-atom itself is incredibly difficult to find - even searching for it directly barely returns the result (for me).
