Fresh is a full-stack web framework for Deno that renders server-generated HTML with Preact and ships JavaScript only for interactive 'islands'. It offers file-system routing, zero-config setup, built-in TypeScript, WebSockets, partials, and View Transitions.

Use cases

  • build a server-rendered website with minimal JavaScript
  • create an e-commerce shop or landing page
  • build a CRUD web app with Deno
  • scaffold a TypeScript web project with no build step
  • add interactive islands to mostly-static pages
  • build a portfolio or documentation site
  • handle forms server-side with progressive enhancement

When to choose

  • you want a Deno-based framework with zero config and no build step
  • your site is primarily server-rendered with small interactive parts
  • you value tiny client-side JavaScript and fast page loads
  • you want file-system routing and TypeScript out of the box

When to avoid

  • you need a full single-page application (SPA)
  • your team is committed to the Node.js/npm ecosystem
  • you need a large ecosystem of client-side libraries and tooling
