Reviewer scorecard
“Non-negotiable for any serious component library. Visual testing, docs, and interaction testing in one place.”
“Define schema once, get types and validation. The TypeScript inference is seamless. Essential for any TypeScript project.”
“The best way to browse and understand a design system. Addons for accessibility and responsive testing are invaluable.”
“Setup can be painful and builds are slow, but the alternative — no component isolation — is worse.”
“The defacto standard for TypeScript validation. Integration with tRPC, React Hook Form, and every major library.”
“Zod standardized TypeScript validation. The ecosystem built around it (tRPC, AI SDK) proves its importance.”
