Reviewer scorecard
“This is the kind of tool that makes you wonder how you worked without it.”
“Nx and Turborepo are the future of monorepo tooling. Lerna is a legacy tool that works but isn't innovating.”
“Solid execution. Does what it promises and the DX is clean.”
“Was nearly dead, but Nx's stewardship brought it back. For npm publishing workflows, it's still the go-to.”
“The team ships fast and responds to feedback. Good sign.”
“Revived by the Nx team and better than ever. The standard for publishing multiple npm packages from a monorepo.”
