Next.js 13 - Fix for client component ('use client') hangs when fetching data in useEffect hook

This technical blog post details a specific bug encountered when migrating to Next.js 13's App Router. The author explains how marking a client component ('use client') as async, often a leftover from a server component conversion, can cause the browser to hang without errors when fetching data in a useEffect hook. The article provides the root cause and the fix, which is to remove the async keyword from the client component function.
