Reviewer scorecard
“Web standards-first approach means your apps work without JavaScript. Loaders and actions are elegant patterns.”
“The fastest way to deploy a serverless function. Write TypeScript in the browser, get an instant URL. No config, no deploy step.”
“The merge with React Router v7 is pragmatic. Web fundamentals and progressive enhancement are the right foundation.”
“Brilliant for prototyping, webhooks, and small automations. The social aspect adds unexpected value — fork and remix.”
“Merged into React Router. The ideas live on but the standalone framework identity is fading.”
“Val Town is what serverless should have been — write code, it runs. The social coding model adds a new dimension.”
