What it does
x is an open-source, full-stack React framework built natively on Bun. Instead of stitching together 5 separate tools, x handles SSR, file-based routing, API endpoints, server functions, auth, and image proxying in a single process. Key features: • Zero-config single Bun process architecture • Astro-style frontend speed + Next.js-style backend DX • Build-time secret isolation for server actions • Built-in @thexjs/mcp server so AI agents write valid code out of the box
X is a fullstack React framework for Bun. Your folder structure is the router, your API lives beside your pages, and static pages, SSR, and server functions all run in one process . bun create thexjs-app downloads the template and resolves deps in one command. Everything X ships is designed to compose: routing, rendering, data, and auth all speak the same file-tree language. Pages, loaders, API routes and server functions live in the file tree. Pages ship as static HTML. Mark what hydrates and users download JavaScript only for those parts. Import server code into client components. Typed, CSRF-safe, no endpoint glue. SQLite and PostgreSQL with versioned migrations, straight from loaders.…from thexjs.abdelkabir.me

Crust – A CLI framework for TypeScript and BunMar 2026 · github.com · ▲95We've been building Crust (https://crustjs.com/), a TypeScript-first, Bun-native CLI framework with zero dependencies. It's been powering our core product internally for a while, and we're now open-sourcing it. The problem we kept running into: existing CLI frameworks in the JS ecosystem are either minimal arg parsers where you wire everything yourself, or heavyweight frameworks with large dependency trees and Node-era assumptions. We wanted something in between. What Crust does differently: - Full type inference from definitions — args and flags are inferred automatically. No…
Swap.js – a JavaScript micro-framework (HTML fragments over the wire)2023 · github.com · ▲127Hi HN! I created this lib in the need of a simple and tiny framework to easily do AJAX-style navigation / replacement of fragments in the page, in a web application. For people who don't want to use client-side-rendering and complex frameworks à la React, there are nowadays a few "HTML-over-the-wire" libraries, like HTMX, Unpoly or this super-tiny one Swap.js :) One other key thing is that no external tool is needed: no bundler, no webpack, no TypeScript compiler, no minification needed. Just write HTML, JS (+ your preferred server-side language: PHP, Python, etc.) and it works. The…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
