Projects

Dokz

Dokz enables you to quickly create live-reloading, seo-friendly, production-ready documentation sites with MDX. It is based on Next.js so you get all its awesome features with it.

create-exact-app

A generator that creates an isomorphic multipage React app with an Express-first design. Running it with npx gives you the initial app setup as a great jumping off point, and with no dependencies on the generator itself. "Exact" is a mashup of "Express" and "React."

Caldera

A server-side execution environment for React. Think of it as the Node.js analog to Phoenix LiveView — all of the application logic (including rendering) runs on the server, and DOM updates are sent to the client in real-time.
