TanStack started out by providing a very good JS table library. Now they offer a Router, and some more libs. They are definitely an up and coming name in the JS space.

That's... not quite right.

[EDIT] I typed "Router" when I meant "Query".

TanStack Query is the relatively newer name for React Query -- one of the most popular JS libraries of all time.

TanStack Start is a recent metaframework (and the one w/ the brightest future, IMO), but Tanner and team have profoundly significant bona fides. IOW, the dev team is far from being the "new kids on the block".

  • Do you have a source for TanStack Router being a newer name for React Router? Doesn't seem like it when looking at the sites for both projects.

    Are you thinking of the whole Remix/ReactRouter thing?

      Thank you, but no. I typed "Router" when I meant "Query". TanStack Query is the newer name for the library FKA react-query.

      TanStack Router is an alternative to React Router.

      TanStack Start is an alternative to Remix/react-router-7's framework mode.

      The naming history and evolution of react-router and its relationship to Remix is a bit convoluted, but an unrelated tangent to the point I was making.
