Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

Instant GraphQL API from a schema definition. Edge deployment and federation are well-designed.

80/100 · ship

Server Components, streaming, and the App Router represent the future of React. The Vercel deployment experience is unmatched.

Skeptic
45/100 · skip

GraphQL is losing mindshare to tRPC and REST. Building a platform around GraphQL is a risky bet.

80/100 · ship

Some complexity with the App Router learning curve, but it's the most complete full-stack React framework.

Futurist
80/100 · ship

Edge-first GraphQL with AI gateway is an interesting combination. The gateway approach could be the differentiator.

80/100 · ship

Next.js defines how modern web apps are built. Server Components and AI SDK integration make it the platform for AI web apps.
