Reviewer scorecard
“Revived by the Nx team and better than ever. The standard for publishing multiple npm packages from a monorepo.”
“The 'copy into your codebase' approach is genius. Full ownership, full customization, no version dependency hell.”
“Was nearly dead, but Nx's stewardship brought it back. For npm publishing workflows, it's still the go-to.”
“Solved the component library problem by not being a library. The most practical approach to UI components.”
“Nx and Turborepo are the future of monorepo tooling. Lerna is a legacy tool that works but isn't innovating.”
“Beautiful defaults that look professional immediately. The theming system makes brand customization straightforward.”
