Built independently. Built to ship. 
From the first line to the full stack.
A compiler, a server, and everything in between.
Zero runtime dependencies.
npx create-niral my-appNode.js 22+.niral
Small by design
Familiar syntax. Fine-grained reactivity.
No virtual DOM standing between
your idea and the browser.
routes/counter.niral<script>
let count = $state(0)
let doubled = $derived(count * 2)
</script>
<button on:click={() => count--}>−</button>
<strong>{count}</strong>
<button on:click={() => count++}>+</button>
<p>Doubled: {doubled}</p>
Live previewNiral runtimeA little state goes a long way.
$derived 0 × 2 = 0
Compiled to direct DOM updatesNo virtual DOM. No runtime dependencies.One connected stack
Not a shopping list of packages.
The capabilities your application needs,
built into the framework.
Server functionsLoad data, call typed RPCs, stream responses, or submit forms without JavaScript. The server code stays on the server.
export async function save(data) {
return { ok: true }
}await save(data)
AuthenticationPasskeys, OAuth, two-factor authentication and route guards. Scaffolded into code you own.
Passkeys
OAuth
Two-factor
DatabasePostgresSQLite by default. Postgres with built-in TLS when you need more. Migrations included.
Data & scaling
Realtime
Live channels over framework-owned WebSockets, with session-aware access guards.
Realtime channels
Jobs & cronRetryDoneDurable jobs, schedules, backoff and dead letters. Survives deploys. No Redis required.
Background jobs
TypeScriptType checking with the actual TypeScript compiler. Diagnostics map to your .niral lines.
TypeScript support
PolyglotWrite server blocks in Python, Ruby or Go. Keep the same sessions, components and RPC.
Polyglot backends
AI & retrievalChat, streams, embeddings and RAG. OpenAI-compatible endpoints or a local llama.cpp option.
AI integrations
All of this. Zero runtime dependencies.No dependency tree to maintain. Every line that runs is a line you can read.
"dependencies": {}Built to do less work
Direct DOM instructions in the browser.
String-concatenated HTML on the server.
Less machinery between a request and a response.
1,000 rows · 100 connections · Production-mode servers
Same-machine measurements, not VPS capacity. Results vary with hardware and load.
No platform required
One $5 server is a perfectly good destination.
So is a fleet. Start with what you need.
Generate the systemd, nginx and atomic-release kit. Deploy to a VPS you control, with rollback built in.
