ELI5 — The Vibe Check
Tanstack Router is the type-safe routing solution that looked at React Router and said 'that's cute, but what if every route, parameter, and search string was fully typed?' It catches your broken links at compile time instead of when a user clicks them in production. It's routing with a safety net.
