Objections

  • Not truly local-first, lacks offline support

    From 1 comment
    • Wonderful work, but this doesn’t look like local first software to me. It looks like server first software with live updates and caching. Don’t get me wrong, that’s super cool -…

    • One is like the halfway point between Next.js and Rails. Well, at least once Zero is out. It won't have all the stuff Rails has for now, just the data solution (and we have a…

  • Expo Router

    From 1 comment
    • It started as a fork of expo router to test if we could get it to work on Vite. Over time we did diverge a few things and added other features. It’s actually fully Vite on…

  • Remix

    From 1 comment
    • Haha - it’s built on React no different than other frameworks are (Remix, Next). Zero is pluggable, so it’s more like a really well integrated library.
