Getting Started with TanStack Start

TanStack Start pairs a file-based router with full-stack data loading, so a route can fetch its own data on the server without a separate API layer. Moving this site over meant deleting a whole folder of glue code that used to keep pages in sync with their data.

The router's type safety was the biggest win: params, search params, and loader data are all inferred, so a typo in a link shows up as a compile error instead of a 404 in production.
