Reviewer scorecard
“Revived by the Nx team and better than ever. The standard for publishing multiple npm packages from a monorepo.”
“useChat and useCompletion hooks make AI UIs trivial. Provider abstraction means switching models is a one-line change.”
“Was nearly dead, but Nx's stewardship brought it back. For npm publishing workflows, it's still the go-to.”
“Well-maintained, provider-agnostic, and genuinely useful. The streaming utilities alone save hours of boilerplate.”
“Nx and Turborepo are the future of monorepo tooling. Lerna is a legacy tool that works but isn't innovating.”
“The AI SDK is becoming the standard abstraction for AI in web apps. Tool calling and structured output support are excellent.”
