Reviewer scorecard
“Type-safe search params and route params are game-changing. Catch route errors at compile time, not runtime.”
“TypeScript-native background jobs with great DX. The dashboard for monitoring and debugging jobs is excellent.”
“The type safety for search params alone justifies adoption. URL state management done right.”
“Solves the 'I need a queue but don't want to manage infrastructure' problem elegantly.”
“TanStack Router plus TanStack Start could become a serious full-stack framework contender.”
