Tanstack is back with yet another amazing library for all you React developers. This time Tanstack is tackling routing in React. Tanstack Router is 100% typesafe, which means you will get IntelliSense on things like routes and parameters. It also provides features such as prefetching and caching.

ShadCN is a UI library, but not like all the others. Being on top of Radix UI primitives with a layer of TailwindCSS on top of, ShadCN UI is filled with beautiful but also well-performing components. Unlike other UI libraries, the components are not located in your node-modules folder but are installed directly into a components folder of your choice. This means less abstraction, and more power to you as a developer.
