Bighorn

the Next Development Epoch

Walk Through Bighorn's Features

or Build on Redwood's Established Base

Redwood is the
full-stack JavaScript
application framework.

Batteries, backend, React, conventions, and opinions included.

What's Included?

Deployment that Eliminates Vendor Lock-In

You have the power of choice without the complexity.

Fly.io
Netlify
AWS
Vercel
Azure

CLI that Provides a Silky Smooth DX

It’s power at your finger tips. Setup auth with a single command. Scaffold your application. Generate components, layouts, and pages.

Render Content, How You Want It, When You Want It

In Bighorn, Redwood supports Client and Server Side Rendering. It has flexible rendering options, on a per-page level, optimizing your application for enhanced speed and performance.

Routing, Meant for Scale

Routes aren’t tied to file and folder naming conventions that make change hard.

Best-in Class Technologies

This is NOT a starter project or a template. We’ve taken the best in class libraries and frameworks that you already know and love and given them first-class support within Redwood. Setup is simple and maintenance is negligible.

TypeScript
GraphQL
Vite
Prisma

React

Independent Open Source Project

We’re obsessed with creating the best possible developer experience and building a framework that enables the community to build at scale.

Logging for Debugging Queries, Resolvers, and Requests

Logging is essential for raising critical errors. In staging and development environments, logging helps you debug queries, resolvers and cell requests.

Roadmap

This is a glimpse into what we’re working on and what we’ve planned.

Done

done
React Server Components, Server Side Cells (async)

Implement efficient data fetching mechanisms on the server to retrieve and serve data to the client-side application, optimizing performance and reducing latency for a better user experience.

done
Server Side Routing

Implement server-side routing to manage navigation and URL handling efficiently, improving user experience and enabling direct linking to specific content within the application.

done
Client Side Cells (GraphQL)

Maintain client-side cells that empower users to execute GraphQL calls directly from the client, facilitating real-time data interaction and updates within the application.

done
CSS Support

Implement comprehensive CSS support to allow developers to style their applications with ease, supporting both traditional stylesheets and modern CSS-in-JS solutions for flexible, component-scoped styling.

In Progress

soon
Integrate Server Side Rendering with React Server Components

Seamlessly integrate Server Side Rendering (SSR) with React Server Components to enable dynamic content rendering on the server, improving load times and SEO while maintaining a rich interactive user experience.

soon
Client Side Routing

Maintain client-side routing to enable seamless, single-page application navigation without full page reloads, leveraging dynamic content loading for a smoother user experience.

soon
ESM Support

Provide full support for ECMAScript modules (ESM) to enable modern, efficient JavaScript development workflows, allowing for better code organization and compatibility with the latest web standards.

soon
External Resources

Expand the framework to include external resource support, enabling seamless integration of SVGs and custom fonts to enhance visual design and typographic flexibility.

Planned

planned
