AppRun is a lightweight (~6KB) JavaScript/TypeScript library for building web applications using an Elm-inspired architecture of state, view, and update functions. It bundles state management, a virtual DOM renderer, event publish-subscribe, and routing, and can run directly in the browser or with a bundler, including alongside React.

Use cases

• build an SPA without hooks or reducers
• manage state in a React app with a simpler pattern
• create a small web app that runs directly from a CDN script tag
• build event-driven components with pub-sub messaging
• add client-side routing to a lightweight frontend
• server-side render web applications

When to choose

• you want a minimal, low-boilerplate Elm-style architecture
• you need state management and routing included in one tiny library
• you prefer event-driven pub-sub over hooks/signals
• you want apps runnable directly in the browser without a build step

When to avoid

• you need a large ecosystem of UI components and tooling
• your team is standardized on React, Vue, or Angular conventions
• you rely on niche ecosystem integrations common in bigger frameworks
