The Fullstack React Framework
"Zero-API" Data Layer — Built on Next.js — Inspired by Ruby on Rails
Read the Documentation
“Zero-API” data layer lets you import server code directly into your React components instead of having to manually add API endpoints and do client-side fetching and caching.
New Blitz apps come with all the boring stuff already set up for you! Like ESLint, Prettier, Jest, user sign up, log in, and password reset.
Provides helpful defaults and conventions for things like routing, file structure, and authentication while also being extremely flexible.

The Foundational Principles
- Fullstack & Monolithic
- API Not Required
- Convention over Configuration
- Loose Opinions
- Easy to Start, Easy to Scale
- Stability
- Community over Code
The Blitz Manifesto explains these principles in detail.
What is Blitz Designed For?
Blitz is designed for tiny to large database-backed applications that have one or more graphical user interfaces.
While we currently only support web, we are pursuing the dream of a single monolithic application that runs on web and mobile with maximum code sharing and minimal boilerplate.
Welcome to the Blitz Community 👋
The Blitz community is warm, safe, diverse, inclusive, and fun! LGBTQ+, women, and minorities are especially welcome. Please read our Code of Conduct.
Join our Discord Community where we help each other build Blitz apps. It's also where we collaborate on building Blitz itself.

There's still a lot of work to do, so you are especially invited to join us in building Blitz! A good place to start is The Contributing Guide.
