Reviewer scorecard
“Real-time reactivity without WebSocket boilerplate. Server functions co-located with schema definition is elegant.”
“React-like syntax with true reactivity and no Virtual DOM overhead. The performance benchmarks speak for themselves.”
“The DX is genuinely excellent. If your app needs real-time, Convex eliminates an enormous amount of complexity.”
“Impressive technology but tiny ecosystem. For production apps, React or Svelte have better library support.”
“Reactive backends that push data to clients will become the default. Convex is building that future now.”
“SolidJS's reactivity model is influencing the entire framework ecosystem. The ideas matter even if adoption is niche.”
