  This was clarifying: https://redwoodjs.com/blog/redwoodsdk

  RedwoodJS is going into maintenance mode and is named Redwood GraphQL.

  RedwoodSDK is the focus for the team going forward. "It begins as a Vite plugin that unlocks SSR, React Server Components, Server Functions, and realtime features". Which reminds me of the modular approach of Vike.dev (aka. vite-plugin-ssr).

  Seems like the unbundled and modular approach won over the opinionated fullstack all-in-one framework approach.

  Music to my ears. I’ve been trying to get close to what this promises using Remix/React Router v7 or Hono. It’s the best approach for a solo maker/small team, but it always feels like a thousand papercuts. On the other side, there’s Vercel + Next.js — the straight-up guillotine.

  These folks really seem to get it. I’ll be keeping a close eye on this one.

  "We believe software can be personal again. Not just technically, but philosophically. Owned. Forkable. Shareable. Local. Beautiful. Built for use, not for scale. Built with love, not venture funding. Built for yourself - and maybe a few others. If this resonates with you, come join us. We're not just building a framework. We're building a future where software is yours again."
