Looking for Contributors: Help Build Avenx.js πŸš€

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
  • πŸ“ Less boilerplate
  • 🧩 Clean and intuitive APIs
  • πŸš€ Fast and lightweight
  • ❀️ Open source and community-driven We're still early in our journey, but we're building something we genuinely believe in.

We're actively looking for contributors

Whether you're an experienced open-source contributor or you're looking to make your very first contribution, we'd love to have you.
There are many ways you can help:

  • Fix bugs
  • Improve documentation
  • Create examples
  • Add tests
  • Implement new features
  • Review pull requests
  • Improve the developer experience Not every contribution has to be thousands of lines of code. Even small improvements make a real difference.

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 askβ€”we're happy to help.

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

Why contribute?

Open source is one of the best ways to:

  • Build real-world experience
  • Learn from other developers
  • Strengthen your GitHub profile
  • Collaborate with people around the world
  • Help shape a growing project Several contributors have already joined us, and we're incredibly grateful for every single one of them.

Every contribution matters

Whether you fix a typo, improve the documentation, or implement a major feature, you're helping make Avenx.js better for everyone.
We're committed to reviewing pull requests promptly, providing constructive feedback, and recognizing everyone who contributes.

Join us!

If you're interested, check out the repository, browse the open issues, or simply introduce yourself.
We're excited to welcome new contributors and continue building Avenx.js together.

πŸš€ 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 toolingβ€”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:

  • ⚑ Zero Boilerplate: Logic, state, and template in a single unified component file.
  • πŸ”„ Transparent Reactivity: Automatic UI updates via JavaScript Proxies without manual setState or ref calls.
  • 🎨 Scoped Styling: CSS is automatically scoped to your component using hashed class generation.
  • πŸ› οΈ Integrated Tooling: A built-in CLI handles project scaffolding, component generation, and development servers.
  • πŸ“¦ Lightweight Core: Minimal runtime footprint for fast loading and execution.
