Reviewer scorecard
“IBM acquisition slowed development. The auto-generation from REST to GraphQL was interesting but the market moved on.”
“Python script to interactive web app with zero frontend code. The caching and state management work well.”
“GraphQL-as-a-service is a solution looking for a larger market. Most teams that want GraphQL can build it.”
“For data scientists who don't want to learn React, Streamlit is the best option. Quick prototyping and dashboards.”
“API composition will be important but AI-powered approaches may replace declarative GraphQL generation.”
“The UI options are limited compared to real frontend frameworks. Fine for internal tools, not for customer-facing apps.”
