🥁 Kotekan

A minimal React framework based on the Bun runtime, with built-in support for React Server Components (RSC).

[!CAUTION] Kotekan is in super early development. I appreciate if you try it out and provide feedback. But please, don't use it in production (yet).

Features

• CSR
• SSR
• Streaming
• Server Components
• Client Components
• Server Actions
• MDX
• StyleX (unstable, disabled for release)
• Tailwind CSS (unstable, disabled for release)
• HMR/Fast Refresh

Supported React rendering strategies:

• CSR
• SSR
• RSC
• SSG

Major dependencies:

• Bun
• TypeScript
• Biome
• React
• StyleX

Smaller dependencies:

• react-error-boundary
• isbot
• @mdx-js/mdx

Goals

• As simple as possible
• As few dependencies as possible

Major missing pieces

• Bundle splitting
• Generate CSS file for StyleX (currently working via debug-mode)
• RSC
• Fast Refresh/HMR
• Implement StyleX without Babel

Anti-goals/indicators that things are going into the wrong direction:

• Bundling via esbuild or other tools
• Non-ESM
• Transpiling to JS
• No legacy
