Reviewer scorecard
“Issue-to-PR workflow is the right abstraction. The planning step prevents the 'just generate code' antipattern.”
“The 'copy into your codebase' approach is genius. Full ownership, full customization, no version dependency hell.”
“Still limited in what it can handle. Works for straightforward issues but struggles with anything architecturally complex.”
“Solved the component library problem by not being a library. The most practical approach to UI components.”
“This is where all development is heading — describe what you want, AI plans and implements. GitHub has distribution advantage.”
“Beautiful defaults that look professional immediately. The theming system makes brand customization straightforward.”
