Bun’s interop and native bindings (like S3) are fantastic. Without their magic tooling, I wouldn’t have figured out the system design gaps for @atplay.blue as fast.

That said, building a robust frontend feels like treading on thin ice. Bundle optimization and project structure are a hustle - it feels bolted on.

ElysiaJS helps a lot and its server-client communication is crazy good with types & API docs. But getting Kita HTML templates, Tailwind CSS and its styles plugin to play nicely requires more source code digging than I’d like.

Maybe I’m simply spoiled by meta frameworks, but I’m gonna try migrating the frontend to SolidStart. I’ll need client interactivity soon anyway, and SolidJS has the Bun adapter plus Zero sync engine plugin I want to explore for something else.
