### Ultra 2.0 #### Zero-Legacy Deno/React Suspense SSR Framework^* [![Discord][discord-badge]][discord] ![GitHub Workflow Status](https://github.com/exhibitionist-digital/ultra/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg) [![Deno module](https://shield.deno.dev/x/ultra)](https://deno.land/x/ultra) ![Deno compatibility](https://shield.deno.dev/deno/^1.27.1)

\* If you want to get very meta (not facebook), **Ultra** can be viewed as a tiny bridge to utilise native browser features 🌐 whilst using popular front-end libraries. 🧰 ## 🧙 Start your journey Here's a basic **Ultra** project to set you on your way. ```sh deno run -A -r https://deno.land/x/ultra/create.ts ``` ## ✨ What's new **Ultra** allows you to write web-apps which massively simplify your tool chain. You write ESM, we ship ESM. Where we are going, there is no "bundling" (it feels so 2018 just saying that word). - Less opinionated, BYO routing, styling, data fetching, and head libraries - Support for much of the React ecosystem by custom server/client controls^** - Native import maps in browser 🤖 - Localised import maps for production 🔥 - API routing - Overhaul of internal source code - Updated Deno Deploy support \*\* _Examples include (but not limited to) `react-query` `twind` `stitches` `react-router` `wouter` `mdx`_ **@__@** **Does Ultra _'ship JS'_?** Yes, **Ultra** creates rich web applications which allow complex client-side routing, allow components to persist through route changes (media players, interactive elements, etc). Our goal is to both write _AND_ ship source code that works the same way on server/runtime and client. We view the browser as more than just a "target". Browser is life, and JavaScript is good. **Can I use TypeScript and/or JSX?** If you want. **What native browser features should we all be using more?** Unbundled ESM, service workers, universal import maps, cascading style sheets. **Ultra always has been (and always will be) powered by the following hot-takes:** - **ESM** is non-negotiable in {currentYear} - **SSR** is non-negotiable in {currentYear} - Bundling is an **anti-pattern** in {currentYear} - **Data can be requested anywhere, and is accessible on the server, always** - **Lazy routing with dynamic imports** trumps FS routing - **Less magic** in tooling and frameworks is a good thing - **Simplify** your workflow and tech stack at all costs - life is too short - **Streams** are neat --- ### 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Community We have the [Discord](https://discord.gg/XDC5WxGHb2).
