Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

No build step - Deno and browsers run the code directly. Supports SSR with data fetching at the component level. Supports static files. Declaratively load/unload CSS files by component. Minimal dependencies.

Tradeoffs

Minimal documentation and setup that is more complex than frameworks you’re probably used to.
