Webflo – A next-gen, web-native framework

Build the full spectrum of modern applications — backends, frontends, offline-first, and realtime apps — on raw platform power.
Webflo is a web-native framework that lets you build absurdlly fast — with the whole sophistication and scale of modern apps solved from the foundation up.

---

Webflo is in active development and evolving daily. Current status = alpha.
You’re welcome to experiment, but it’s not yet suited for production apps.

What You Can Build

Category	Examples & Notes
Web apps	Anything from classic MPAs to rich SPAs – with SSR/CSR/hybrid rendering patterns.
API backends	REST endpoints and webhooks – with streaming, partial responses, and live messaging.
Static sites	Static-first or fully pre-rendered sites – with the same client-side richness of a Webflo app.
Mobile experiences	Installable, offline-capable PWAs – with background sync, push notifications, and more.
Realtime & multiplayer	Chats, presence, dashboards, live docs, notifications – realtime channels and dialogs available out of the box.
AI & agents	Multi-step AI workflows, background agents, and automation – powered by Webflo’s realtime capabilities.

Features

Feature	Description
Folder-based routing	Filesystem routing across client, service worker, and server layers.
Service Worker routing	Support for route handlers in the service worker.
Sessions & auth	Built-in cookie handling, session utilities, and helpers for gated routes and user-aware flows.
Realtime capabilities	Live responses, mutable/differential responses, two-way background messaging — all built in.
Mutation-based reactivity	State is plain objects and arrays; mutations drive reactivity via the Observer API.
OOHTML integration	HTML-native templates, imports, and composition without a component DSL or build-heavy toolchain.
Dev mode & HMR	Fast development server with fine-grained rebuilds and hot updates for HTML, JS, and CSS.
