“The team ships fast and responds to feedback. Good sign.”
“This fills a real gap in the ecosystem. Worth adopting early.”
“The merge with React Router v7 is pragmatic. Web fundamentals and progressive enhancement are the right foundation.”

“Merged into React Router. The ideas live on but the standalone framework identity is fading.”
