fresh VS qwik

I would highly recommend giving Deno Fresh[1] a go, it has a lot of the same features as Next.js but I find it to result in a much cleaner codebase overall. This coupled with Deno's built in KV store and hosted on Deploy makes for quite a zen workflow to be honest.

This made me chuckle, but then I started exploring their project repos. A solid 30% of Fresh's README [0] is dedicated to showing you how to add a Fresh logo or hashtag to your project. Oof.

Also the JS ecosystem marketing lingo everywhere is just overwhelming.

Ummm... Well I am mostly a web dev so I will try out the Fresh 🍋 framework to make something simple like an app where a user can log their mood (why not 🦀)

Fresh. Deno-based full-stack web framework using…

Everything changed when I started "Tear Down and Rebuild" my blog. After many times of hesitating and pondering over technology choices, the name Fresh appeared. However, Fresh requires Deno as its runtime environment. Having no prior deployment experience but thinking "it's just a JavaScript runtime environment!" gave me more confidence. The next story is this article.

Deno also provides infrastructure beyond the runtime. Tests, linters, and formatters are also included. You can also deploy your applications using Deno’s serverless environment, Deno Deploy (learn how to use Neon with Deno Deploy), and build entire applications using Deno’s framework, Fresh.

Fresh is the most popular web framework built on Deno. With the imminent Deno 2.0 launch, now is a great time to take a look at it. I give an updated dive into how to build a simple blog engine with it, based on Andy Jiang's original example.

The answer is not to use a templating engine. TSX is the gold standard here IMO. Using it with https://fresh.deno.dev/ is soooo much nicer than old school templates.

Additionally, the Qwik framework has entered the scene, offering an innovative solution to the hybrid model. Qwik is designed to deliver instant loading web applications by using a resumable architecture, which allows web applications to start up with minimal JavaScript. It achieves this by splitting the application code into small, lazy-loaded chunks that only activate when needed, thus optimizing both the performance and user experience.

There are dozens of "better React" web frameworks, so it is impossible to get any traction with that value proposition. That ship has sailed. New frameworks should solve problems that are very difficult in existing frameworks. https://qwik.dev/ is a good example.

Qwik

Vite is a modern build tool created by Evan You, the same developer behind Vue.js. It is designed to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects. You can use Vite to create front-end projects in seconds: React, Svelte, Lit, Qwik and many others modern frameworks are supported.

Qwik: A new framework designed for optimal performance with built-in SSR support.

I'm curious what users of Svelte think about https://qwik.dev, have many of you been tempted by it? There are a lot of similarities and both are great at keeping file sizes down with a great DX.

This command creates a new Vite project with React. Feel free to replace “react” with “vue” or “vanilla” if that’s more your jam. Svelte, Preact, Qwik, and others are supported, too!

We've got several open-source projects that you might find useful. Qwik, our resumable framework for instant web apps; Partytown, which runs third-party scripts in a web worker; and Mitosis, which lets you write components once and compile to multiple frameworks. These aren't just demos — they're real tools we use and actively develop.

Note: Astro supports a variety of popular frameworks including React, Preact, Svelte, Vue, SolidJS, AlpineJS and Lit with official integrations. While for other frameworks e.g. Angular and Qwik, you may still benefit from this tutorial and you would need to further set up the community maintained framework integrations.

The most common and well known is React, with many others sharing this space, such as Svelte, SolidJS, Angular, Vue, Qwik and more. All are impressive feats of engineering and come with bold statements.
