Reviewer scorecard
“Eliminates 90% of server state management boilerplate. Caching, refetching, and mutations just work.”
“The code quality is surprisingly good — real shadcn components, not generic divs with inline styles. Saves me 2-3 hours per UI component.”
“Solved server state management so well that it changed how React apps are built. The devtools are excellent.”
“Does one thing extremely well: turning ideas into working UI. It won't replace a designer, but it eliminates the blank canvas problem.”
“TanStack Query's multi-framework support and the broader TanStack ecosystem are defining modern web data management.”
“As a creator, I can now prototype landing pages in minutes instead of hours. The Figma-to-code flow is a game changer for my workflow.”
