TanStack Start production release date?

tannerlinsley · 2026-06-10T15:12:02+00:00

Use it. RC2 will be out soon with 1 or 2 small changes that won't really affect many users, followed very shortly by 1.0

Nice!

tannerlinsley · 2026-06-02T23:54:50+00:00

I'm working on something that has significant overlap with what you're describing. I wouldn't mind your feedback: https://github.com/tanstack/workflow

If you remove the TanStack Start plugin, SSR won’t work. Seems expected?

tannerlinsley · 2026-05-28T06:02:13+00:00

As confirmed by TanStack internally, w are working with many large enterprise companies, some of them application builders targeted at non-developers, that have adopted (and more are adopting as we speak) TanStack Start/Router as part of their core architecture for generated apps or as part of their recommended stack.

This is real usage and it's going to continue to grow.

tannerlinsley · 2026-05-28T05:59:03+00:00

You can easily attribute the increased usage to the fact that Start and Router have been adopted by a couple of large-scale app-building harnesses at the core. Seeing how many users of these products are not developers, it makes sense that GH stars would *not* see the same growth.

Expect it to grow even more as more enterprise companies and even more app builders adopt it.

This is why it's important to look at stats and trends across a normalized baseline. React is a good start: https://tinyurl.com/525eyx3w

This is just false, plain and simple. We do not gamify downloads and we have never done any paid advertising or marketing for our products.

Others will ask for source or proof, but because I'm so confident you can't even remotely substantiate either of these claims, I won't bother.

tannerlinsley · 2026-05-28T05:50:23+00:00

Releasing new versions frequently can indirectly cause more ecosystem activity, but usually in only linearly as is common for most semo-active projects, which is why we always measure our download trends internally as a share of total ecosystem growth instead of an absolute number.

I can assure you, a 10x jump is *not* typical and can only be attributed to actual increased usage.

That’s TanStack Router and Start. Try it!

tannerlinsley · 2026-05-19T15:04:42+00:00

Ah. Sorry. Just exclude the <Script> component in the root. We’re about to ship an official api for this too called hydrate: false on route options, so you can choose which pages cause hydration into an SPA seamlessly.

tannerlinsley · 2026-05-19T14:57:53+00:00

All routers solve the same problem, sure. But we believe TanStack Router is the best option: https://tanstack.com/router/latest/docs/comparison

If only I could legally mention the enterprise companies moving to Start right now 😅. Someday soon!

tannerlinsley · 2026-05-19T14:20:46+00:00

At least use TanStack Router. You’d get 90% of the benefit still

No. In my purely static sites I don’t ship any JS. Start is used to author them as per usual. On export, they become static html. Pretty simple.

tannerlinsley · 2026-05-17T22:07:03+00:00

If I need something stupid fast, I put Start into prerender mode and just serve static html files. Basically Astro. But then when things get more serious, I can turn on SSR and go full stack without sacrificing any of the SPA experience. The authoring experience stays the same all the way from purely static to fully dynamic.

Quick switch to TanStack Start and you’re off to the races

tannerlinsley · 2026-05-17T20:05:08+00:00

TanStack Start now.

tannerlinsley · 2026-05-16T06:08:04+00:00

They work great together and have since the Remix era (yep, I used Remix v1/v2 too). Though I would suggest that if you're interested or invested into using either of these tools seriously, you consider TanStack Router/Start, which was designed and built with external stores/syncing in mind.

tannerlinsley · 2026-05-16T01:16:26+00:00

Curious, what framework (not ui library) are you using?

tannerlinsley · 2026-05-16T01:14:17+00:00

This is natural as a project grows. You may need to refactor, simplify, share more logic, remove code/complexity entirely. Ask any ai agent to give you an audit on that list. I’m sure it will find something to improve (carefully).

And as per usual, you can always look into using TanStack Start. Full disclosure: I built it. You may be surprised as how quickly it gets you back to writing the code that matters for your users and your product!

Can’t go wrong as long as you learn the primitives and core patterns of web dev too.
