Reviewer scorecard
“The 'copy into your codebase' approach is genius. Full ownership, full customization, no version dependency hell.”
“React-like syntax with true reactivity and no Virtual DOM overhead. The performance benchmarks speak for themselves.”
“Beautiful defaults that look professional immediately. The theming system makes brand customization straightforward.”
“Solved the component library problem by not being a library. The most practical approach to UI components.”
“Impressive technology but tiny ecosystem. For production apps, React or Svelte have better library support.”
“SolidJS's reactivity model is influencing the entire framework ecosystem. The ideas matter even if adoption is niche.”
