🚀 Palistor is here: the AI-friendly MVVM framework for React (experimental)

Palistor just landed on npm. npm install palistor — and your React screens stop being a tangle of useEffect.

⚠️ Heads up: Palistor is still an experimental technology. Kick the tires, break it, tell us what hurts.

The one idea

AI is bad at architecture — but it's great at filling declarative slots.

So Palistor removes the architecture task entirely. It splits your frontend into three clean layers:

• View — pure JSX. So primitive there's nowhere to make a mistake.
• ViewModel — one flat config object with behavior (validation, conditional fields, cross-field rules).
• Model — any data source you plug in via resolve. Palistor defines the interface, not the implementation.

🤖 Why it's AI-friendly

Here's the punchline: generated code can't fall apart, because there's nowhere for it to go wrong.

Reviewing an AI-written screen becomes reviewing one flat object instead of a tree of useEffects, custom hooks and contexts. You keep control — even when you don't read every line the model wrote. That's the path toward generating real enterprise frontends without losing the plot.

What you get

• ⚡ Granular re-renders — a component subscribes only to the fields it read
• 🧮 Computed field state — isVisible, isRequired, labels, errors recomputed from the config
• 🔌 Async resolvers — auto-tracked deps, retry, optimistic updates, Suspense
• 📋 Lists & entities — normalized registry, list proxy, per-entity templates
• 🪜 Flows — step wizards with branching and per-step validation
• 💾 Persist, i18n, field mapping — batteries included
