## What it is
Ripple is a TypeScript-first UI framework built around .tsrx files, featuring fine-grained reactivity, template-native control flow, scoped styles, and a small runtime. It combines ideas from React, Solid, and Svelte with a compiler-driven approach and supports SSR, hydration, and Vite integration.

## Use cases
- build a reactive web app with fine-grained rendering
- write components in TypeScript with JSX-like templating
- server-side render and hydrate a frontend application
- scope component styles without a separate CSS solution
- compile the same component code to React, Solid, or Ripple via TSRX
- create a new frontend project with a scaffolding CLI

## When to choose
- you want a modern TypeScript-first UI framework with built-in fine-grained reactivity
- you value small bundle size and high runtime performance
- you want template-native control flow and scoped styles out of the box
- you want SSR and hydration support with Vite tooling

## When to avoid
- you need a mature ecosystem with extensive libraries and community support
- your team relies on React-specific tooling or libraries
- you prefer not to adopt a custom .tsrx file format and compiler
- you need long-term stability guarantees for production-critical systems
