Discussion on: Could Blitz.js be the next big JS framework?

One of our foundational principles is "loose opinions". We have recommendations for most people, but it's easy to ignore. There's almost no decisions we have baked in.

How can something be monolith and have loose opinions/coupling between subsystems? Both of them cannot be true simultaneously.

a lot of features some apps might not need

You can say this about anything, including JavaScript itself. Not a great argument my friend :)

Yeah, it is not a good argument, that is why I didn't make it :) . I made this comment within the context of a monolith framework. If it contains many features, necessarily there must be tight coupling between subsystems at some layer to provide a more cohesive experience. I think this is actually a tradeoff we need to make.

Secondly you kind of misquoted me probably by mistake, this is my full comment which makes more sense given statement that comes after and.

a lot of features some apps might not need and require customized functionality which would be easier to build with application which is not monolith

Blitz is literally way better that you are imagining :)

Probably, but I am not a fan of React, this is the primary reason for me not using it, its not your fault though. I think React is a sane choice for a lot of people due to its vast ecosystem.
