Use Activity Component for Show/Hide

Use React's <Activity> to preserve state/DOM for expensive components that frequently toggle visibility.

Usage:

import { Activity } from "react";

function Dropdown({ isOpen }: Props) {
  return (
    <Activity mode={isOpen ? "visible" : "hidden"}>
      <ExpensiveMenu />
    </Activity>
  );
}

Avoids expensive re-renders and state loss.
