A TypeScript data-fetching framework for React that lets components declare exactly the fields they need, then auto-combines requests and keeps a synced cache.

Why would anyone build with this?

REASON 1

Fetch all the data a screen needs in one combined request instead of scattered per-component calls.

REASON 2

Build reusable, composable data 'views' shared across components like User and Post.

REASON 3

Add optimistic UI updates so the interface changes before the server confirms.

REASON 4

Use with a tRPC backend to get GraphQL-like data fetching without adopting GraphQL.
