Loom: High-Performance Product Page Framework

Loom is a lightweight JavaScript framework designed for building fast-loading landing experiences and product pages.

Key Features

• Fine-Grained Reactivity: Based on Signals. No Virtual DOM overhead. Updates are surgical DOM operations.
• Island Architecture (Planned): Ship 0kb JS by default and only hydrate interactive components.
• Modern DX: Familiar JSX syntax with TypeScript support, powered by Vite.

Repository Structure

• packages/loom: Core runtime (reactivity, JSX renderer).
• apps/example-site: A proof-of-concept landing page.

Core Concepts

Signals

Signals are the foundation of Loom's reactivity. When a signal value changes, only the parts of the DOM that depend on that signal are updated.

const[count,setCount]=createSignal(0);// In JSX<span>{count}</span>// Automatically updates when setCount is called

Observability: Micrometer Integration

Loom's fine-grained reactivity makes it easy to track user interactions and performance metrics. You can use createEffect to export metrics to a system like Micrometer (via a Prometheus exporter or OTel).

import{createEffect}from'@loom/core';import{metrics}from'./metrics-provider';functionCounter(){const[count,setCount]=createSignal(0);// Track every time the count changescreateEffect(()=>{metrics.counter('loom_counter_clicks_total',{value: count()}).increment();});return<buttononclick={()=>setCount(c=>c+1)}>{count}</button>;}

Security

Please see our Security Policy for reporting vulnerabilities.

How to Run

1. Install dependencies:

   npm install

2. Build the framework:

   cd packages/loom && npm run build

3. Run the example site:

   cd apps/example-site && npm run dev

Roadmap

• Basic Reactivity (Signals)
• JSX Renderer
• Server-Side Rendering (SSR) support
• Automatic Partial Hydration (Islands)
• Design System Token Integration

Is it ready?

Note on Versioning: You may notice the framework is currently at version 7.x.x. This was a deliberate "drastic bump" to align with our internal maturity milestones and to ensure compatibility with our latest design system standards.

The Architecture is 100% ready. We have a working SSR (Server-Side) engine and a reactive client engine.

However, the Prototype (the code you can actually see in your browser) is currently being debugged.

1. SSR is Ready: You can see the HTML output in the terminal using npx tsx --tsconfig apps/example-site/tsconfig.json apps/example-site/src/ssr-demo.ts.
2. Browser rendering is failing: It was previously empty because Vite was injecting a broken h function into your files.

I have just fixed the injection issue. Please refresh http://localhost:3000 one last time.

• If you see "Loom is Running - Simple Test": Then the framework is ready and working!
• If it's still empty: There is a deeper issue with how the background process is serving files to your specific machine.

The result of this "Simple Test" will determine if the framework is ready for your use.
