### What we like

Designed to work with SolidJS which provides a lightweight JS framework without a virtual DOM. Acts as a basic starter kit with filesystem routing, middleware, bundler, data loading, server actions, on top of the Nitro web server. Minimal out of the box (\\\~5kb).

### Tradeoffs

Development looks like it’s slowed down in the build up to SolidJS 2.0. But you want your framework to be stable with minimal churn, so this may not be a bad thing.

This review reflects Console’s assessment at publication on 2025-04-24. Features and limitations may have changed since the review date.
