On: GraphQL and the Beads on a String

[owlstuffing]

Using manifold-graphql[1], at least on the client side, has had a similar productivity gain here.

I'll take a look. What I like about WG is with the defined operations on the server, I then get a typed client I can use in Typescript, Openapi (which I can use to generate clients for ios, android, etc), I get postman collection. Pretty much any client I want to consume my api from, I have a client ready to go. Now, I make changes to any of my operations, my clients will complain.

manifold does the same by working directly from graphql, no codegen steps to screw sync. if changes are made to graphql definitions, the client fails to compile.

ah, sounds interesting thanks. Will give it a look!
