My goal for 2020: Build an application framework

• Support both React and Vue (perhaps Svelte too)
• File-system based routing, like many PHP frameworks and Next.js / Nuxt.js, there will be two kinds of pages:
  • Component pages: pages/**/*.{vue,js,jsx,ts,tsx}, supports Next.js-like getInitialProps
  • Server pages: pages/**/*.{json,html,xml,etc}.{js,ts}, used as http handlers to output other types of content, like API response or RSS feed. In SSG/SPA mode we render server pages to static files at build time so your client JavaScript can still fetch it.
• Support multiple rendering modes on app-level and component-level:
  • SSR: by default your app is server-rendered and rehydrated on the client-side
  • SSG: it can also be statically generated if you can't deploy it as a Node.js app
  • SPA: like SSG but server-side rendering is disabled so you don't need to write SSR-compatible code
• Theme system.
• Blog support (via plugins)

Why another framework

There're a lot of frameworks for building SSR/SSG/SPA apps: Create React App, Poi, Next.js, Gatsby, Nuxt.js, Saber, Gridsome, VuePress, Vue CLI and so on and so forth. So why not get the best out of all of them?

I have a prototype and I plan to release this framework late this year, but you can help me make this idea become reality faster, I'm confident that this will benefit a lot of developers (including me myself) and your support will definitely accelerate it!
