MCP tools have only ever returned text for the model to read.
Now they return interactive UI. 🪄
TanStack AI's new MCP Apps support renders ui:// widgets right in the chat - static or fully interactive, with a client/server bridge.
I'm wondering if this kind of technological debt (React or any other framework) still makes sense. I don't think so. The only one that should be adopted is AI.
The success of React was functional at first, then social and emotional once it hit mass adoption.
That's why it won and was never unseated all the way to the point where now your choice of framework doesn't materially matter anymore.
The Italians have a beautiful word: prego.
It’s very flexible. It means:
- you’re welcome
- please, go ahead
- help yourself
- take one
It’s always used in a polite, generous way. One simple word, two syllables. I love it.
