Reviewer scorecard
“Types from server to client with zero code generation. The DX is magical — change a server type, client updates instantly.”
“The code quality is surprisingly good — real shadcn components, not generic divs with inline styles. Saves me 2-3 hours per UI component.”
“For TypeScript full-stack apps, tRPC eliminates an entire category of bugs. No schemas, no codegen, just types.”
“Does one thing extremely well: turning ideas into working UI. It won't replace a designer, but it eliminates the blank canvas problem.”
“tRPC proved that type-safe APIs don't need schemas or code generation. The idea is being adopted everywhere.”
“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.”
