<h2 align="center">Blitz is a Rails-like framework for monolithic, full-stack React apps</h2>
<br>
Blitz brings back the **simplicity and conventions** of server rendered frameworks like Ruby on Rails while preserving everything we love about React and client-side rendering!
Blitz is the framework for the 99% of us at companies with <100 employees. This means **we don't force you to use advanced technologies like GraphQL**. We let you add advanced technologies on your terms and at your pace.
Blitz **maximizes your productivity** both when starting an app and when scaling it to lots of code and users.
<br>
**Features:**<br>
⚡️ Built on Next.js<br>
⚡️ Don't have to build an API for client-side rendering<br>
⚡️ Client-side rendering, Server-side rendering, and fully static pages all in the same app<br>
⚡️ Full Typescript support with static, end-to-end typing (no code generation step needed like with GraphQL)<br>
⚡️ React Concurrent Mode enabled<br>
⚡️ Database/ORM agnostic, but Prisma 2 is default<br>
⚡️ CLI with code scaffolding, Rails-style console REPL, etc<br>
⚡️ GraphQL Ready<br>
⚡️ Deploy serverless or serverful<br>
**Other key features coming:**<br>
⚡️ Highly secure authentication <br>
⚡️ Authorization you can use on both server and client<br>
⚡️ Model validation you can use on both server and client<br>
⚡️ Plugins for easily adding libaries like Tailwind, CSS-in-JS, etc.<br>
⚡️ React native support<br>
⚡️ GUI so you don't have to use the CLI<br>
<br>
### Initial Alpha Release Coming Soon
We expect an initial alpha release to be ready the week of April 20, 2020. In the meantime, [check out the Architecture RFC](https://github.com/blitz-js/blitz/pull/73) and view the example app here: [`examples/store`](https://github.com/blitz-js/blitz/tree/canary/examples/store)
<br>
### What is Blitz Designed For?
Blitz is designed for tiny to large database-backed applications that have one or more graphical user interfaces.
While we currently only support web, we are pursuing the dream of a single monolithic application that runs on web and mobile with maximum code sharing and minimal boilerplate.
<br>
### What are the Foundational Principles?
1. Fullstack & Monolithic
2. API Not Required
3. Convention over Configuration
4. Loose Opinions
5. Easy to Start, Easy to Scale
6. Stability
7. Community over Code
[The Blitz Manifesto](https://github.com/blitz-js/blitz/blob/canary/MANIFESTO.md) explains these principles in detail.
<br>
