The front end framework for correctness: built on Effect, architected like Elm

Foldkit: A TypeScript Frontend Framework Built on Effect and Elm Architecture

I built Foldkit to solve frontend correctness by combining the Effect ecosystem with the Elm Architecture. Unlike React or Vue, which leave architecture decisions to you, Foldkit enforces a single immutable model and explicit effects. This approach ensures predictable state, linear complexity growth, and a unified system for routing, UI components, and testing without hidden mutations.

Foldkit asks you to think about frontend development differently. It uses The Elm Architecture, so there are no components, no hooks, no local state. Everything is declarative and structured.
