    { name: 'Item 3' },

    useEffect(() => {
        const timer = setTimeout(() => {
            done();
        }, 1000);

        return () => {
            clearTimeout(timer);
        };
    //NOTE: that we don't need to add `done` to the dependency array

        <div>
            {name} {isLoaded ? '✔️' : '❌'}
        </div>
