Reviewer scorecard
“Real-time reactivity without WebSocket boilerplate. Server functions co-located with schema definition is elegant.”
“Type-safe search params and route params are game-changing. Catch route errors at compile time, not runtime.”
“The DX is genuinely excellent. If your app needs real-time, Convex eliminates an enormous amount of complexity.”
“The type safety for search params alone justifies adoption. URL state management done right.”
“Reactive backends that push data to clients will become the default. Convex is building that future now.”
“TanStack Router plus TanStack Start could become a serious full-stack framework contender.”
