I've been building my app for 8 months now, and i ended up having 5 repositories

• nextjs app

• databases

• customer facing API

• node-sdk that wraps the api

• react-sdk, for both reusing shared component and customer facing components

So i thought, it's gonna be great if i create a mono repo with submodules. But it was terrible. I realized that turborepo does not like external packages, and as i tried to reuse my own customer facing libs, the DX became terrible. It was very time consuming to ship a feature. Even when i wanted to use Codex or Cursor 3, it was not able to show git diff properly, also i was not able to use Cursor's cloud agents properly to ship complex features.
