Reviewer scorecard
“Clean UI, open source, and supports every protocol. The git-based sync is useful for teams.”
“Remote caching and affected-only testing save enormous CI time. The project graph visualization is invaluable for large repos.”
“Lighter than Postman and open source. For most API development needs, it's the right balance of features.”
“If you have a monorepo with more than 5 projects, Nx pays for itself in CI time savings on day one.”
“Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.”
“Monorepos are winning. Nx and Turborepo are making them practical at any scale.”
