Open source has always been about people building something together. Over the past few weeks, something really exciting happened to Avenx.js: we started receiving contributions from developers outside of our core team.
As the co-founder of Avenx.js, that has been incredibly motivating. Seeing someone you've never met take the time to improve your project is a special feeling.

Now we'd like to take the next step.

What is Avenx.js?

Avenx.js is a modern JavaScript framework focused on simplicity, performance, and developer experience.
Our goals are simple:

⚡️ Zero runtime dependencies
📝 Less boilerplate
🧩 Clean and intuitive APIs
🚀 Fast and lightweight
❤️ Open source and community-driven We're still early in our journey, but we're building something we genuinely believe in.

There are many ways you can help:

Fix bugs

New to open source?

No problem.
We've labeled several issues with good first issue to make it easier to get started. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask—we're happy to help.

Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where people can learn, contribute, and grow together.

🚀 Avenx-JS

Avenx-JS is a lightweight, experimental frontend framework designed for simplicity and performance. It features a custom compiler-driven component system, Proxy-based reactivity, scoped CSS, and powerful CLI tooling—all with zero runtime dependencies.

✨ Why Avenx?

Modern frontend development often requires complex build chains and heavy runtime libraries. Avenx explores a different path by providing:

🛠️ Integrated Tooling: A built-in CLI handles project scaffolding, component generation, and development servers.
📦 Lightweight Core: Minimal runtime footprint for fast loading and execution.
