What we like

Uses async React to enable optimistic UI updates and instant feedback. Provides typed APIs to connect to the data backend over fetch, tRPC, or GraphQL. Also includes adapters for Prisma and Drizzle. Introduces an Actions concept for mutations, but you can use more traditional imperative calls.
