Reviewer scorecard
“Real-time reactivity without WebSocket boilerplate. Server functions co-located with schema definition is elegant.”
“Non-negotiable for any serious component library. Visual testing, docs, and interaction testing in one place.”
“The DX is genuinely excellent. If your app needs real-time, Convex eliminates an enormous amount of complexity.”
“Setup can be painful and builds are slow, but the alternative — no component isolation — is worse.”
“Reactive backends that push data to clients will become the default. Convex is building that future now.”
“The best way to browse and understand a design system. Addons for accessibility and responsive testing are invaluable.”
