Introduction

The Beginning of Vista

Vista started from one idea: keep the power of modern frameworks, cut the noise, and let developers ship with less code.

Founder Note

"Vista was started to remove repeated setup friction from product teams. The vision is simple: fewer files to think about, less boilerplate to maintain, and a runtime that still gives you full control when your app grows."

Vista is currently in its alpha stage. It is a framework born from a desire for simplicity without sacrificing power.

If you have used Next.js, Vista will feel familiar by design. It follows practical conventions while keeping the runtime lightweight.

Core Promise

  • Write less code for common product workflows: UI, APIs, auth, and AI in one app/ tree.
  • Keep server-first performance defaults.
  • Retain flexibility when apps grow beyond starter templates.

Current Stage

Vista is moving fast. vista g auth, vista g api-init, and vista g agent are the main ways to add fullstack, sessions, and chat without extra packages.
