Hook Ergonomics with GraphQL

We are in interesting times. Colocation is good. How to best do this is being figured out.

We are rewriting our front-end stack from first principles, and as part of that, decided to switch from Apollo to Relay. This is very interesting times in front-end land here, and I can't wait to write more on this topic.

For now, feel free to ask any questions you may have 🙂

Be eager to ship with whatever stack your company uses. https://t.co/zi0dr8Ua3u

rsbuild and React Router 7

Vite has critical mass and is officially supported in React Router. Rolldown is going to improve Vite quite a bit. All the same, competition is good.

After using rsbuild on remix/React Router. I'll say this. My days of directly using rspack are over. Nobody should use rspack directly unless you're migrating from webpack. Rsbuild is more powerful and less complex. It's not possible without rspack, but that's a build engine, not…
