TanStack
The installation size is large due to the dependency on `@remiux-run/node`.
The current install size of @tanstack/react-form is 24MB.

Someone has already asked me about this on my behalf and I understand that you have also responded about it. https://x.com/tannerlinsley/status/1897323043510431970
It's 11.8kb min. Don't use packagephobia or bundlephobia.
What's the problem?
I see the problem as being that it is just a form and a package of wrappers for it, which is such a large installation size.
Just doing the npm i @tanstack/react-form generates about 30 MB of communication.
This is not very desirable for CI or for developers who have pipelines in place for builds.
In fact, I have not been able to employ this in a new product I am creating because I am afraid of it.
What is this package used for?
That's it. Just those three lines. https://packagephobia.com/result?p=%40remix-run%2Fnode
import { createCookie } from '@remix-run/node'
export const _tanstackInternalsCookie = createCookie('_tanstack_form_internals')

This improvement alone will reduce the package installation size to about 1 MB. Perhaps hopefully the post-bundle size can be further reduced as well.
About the questions that will probably come up.
Q. Why not just use a cache (in CI/CD)? A. Yes, of course I agree, and I am sure everyone is already doing so. But it's not very nice for developers to have to allocate so much disk space and network bandwidth, even temporarily, just for the form library and its wrappers. If the installation size can be kept small, it should be.
This is great research, we'll remove that dep in favor of something else.
At the same time please do not tag specific maintainers - it's in poor taste.
Tanner was the one who answered this in X, and since I was new to sending an issue to a repository of this size and organization, I felt it would be quicker to ask Tanner, so I was menshoning... I am so sorry... I will turn it off.

For everyone in this thread, this is a great visualization!
