Reviewer scorecard
“End-to-end type safety with Eden treaty is the killer feature. Bun-native performance is excellent.”
“The 'copy into your codebase' approach is genius. Full ownership, full customization, no version dependency hell.”
“Bun-first means limited runtime flexibility. If Bun adoption stalls, Elysia is stranded. Hono is safer.”
“Solved the component library problem by not being a library. The most practical approach to UI components.”
“Type-safe APIs without code generation is the right direction. Elysia's DX hints at what web frameworks should feel like.”
“Beautiful defaults that look professional immediately. The theming system makes brand customization straightforward.”
