Description
https://ziex.devZiex is a full-stack web framework for Zig. It now has most of the core pieces needed to build real applications and is preparing for its first public release (0.1.0), planned after Zig 0.17 stabilizes.Some of the current features:- Server-side rendering (fast by default)- JSX-like UI syntax in Zig- File-system routing- Client components compiled to WebAssembly- zx.db: built-in SQLite abstraction (uses D1 when deployed on - Cloudflare Workers)- zx.kv: key-value storage abstraction (uses Cloudflare KV in production)You can try Ziex without installing Zig using npm or bun:`npm init ziex`Example app built with it (Hacker News clone deployed to Cloudflare Workers):https://hn.ziex.appFeedback is welcome!

Could you build this?
No Building a full-stack web framework in Zig requires deep systems programming, compiler/parser internals for JSX-like syntax, and low-level HTTP/SSR memory management in a young, evolving language.
What it would actually take: A developer needs extensive knowledge of Zig's manual memory management, comptime metaprogramming, and standard library. The core challenge involves building a performant HTTP server, an AST parser/transpiler for JSX-like templating, and SSR hydration mechanisms without garbage collection. This requires specialized low-level systems engineering expertise rather than boilerplate web development.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
