Reviewer scorecard
“Remote caching and affected-only testing save enormous CI time. The project graph visualization is invaluable for large repos.”
“The 'copy into your codebase' approach is genius. Full ownership, full customization, no version dependency hell.”
“If you have a monorepo with more than 5 projects, Nx pays for itself in CI time savings on day one.”
“Solved the component library problem by not being a library. The most practical approach to UI components.”
“Monorepos are winning. Nx and Turborepo are making them practical at any scale.”
“Beautiful defaults that look professional immediately. The theming system makes brand customization straightforward.”
