Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

Remote caching and affected-only testing save enormous CI time. The project graph visualization is invaluable for large repos.

80/100 · ship

The 'copy into your codebase' approach is genius. Full ownership, full customization, no version dependency hell.

Skeptic
80/100 · ship

If you have a monorepo with more than 5 projects, Nx pays for itself in CI time savings on day one.

80/100 · ship

Solved the component library problem by not being a library. The most practical approach to UI components.

Futurist
80/100 · ship

Monorepos are winning. Nx and Turborepo are making them practical at any scale.
