  • qwik

    Instant-loading web apps, without effort

    This isn't a comprehensive list of course. There are frameworks like SolidJS, which offers a lot of React capabilities but without requiring a virtual DOM, SvelteKit, which is similar to NextJS but relying on Svelte, or Qwik, which does SSR and SSG but without hydration, relying instead on what they call "JavaScript Streaming." I'm sure there are others I've missed as well, but the point is, there are lots of options and, because each takes a unique approach to solving similar problems, we can learn a lot by exploring them.

  • SvelteKit
