Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

Revived by the Nx team and better than ever. The standard for publishing multiple npm packages from a monorepo.

80/100 · ship

React hooks for real-time presence, cursors, and collaborative editing. Makes adding multiplayer features trivial.

Skeptic
80/100 · ship

Was nearly dead, but Nx's stewardship brought it back. For npm publishing workflows, it's still the go-to.

80/100 · ship

Building real-time collaboration from scratch is brutal. Liveblocks abstracts the hard parts with a clean API.

Futurist
45/100 · skip

Nx and Turborepo are the future of monorepo tooling. Lerna is a legacy tool that works but isn't innovating.

80/100 · ship

Every SaaS app will add real-time collaboration. Liveblocks is the infrastructure layer that makes it practical.
