🦊 Reynard Monorepo

A SolidJS framework and ecosystem for building reactive web applications with AI services, authentication, and real-time collaboration.

Overview

Reynard is a monorepo containing a web development ecosystem built around SolidJS (custom vendored: solid-js 2.0.0-beta.5, solid-web 2.0.0-beta.5). It includes frontend packages, backend services, vendored Rust dependencies, AI integrations, and development tooling.

The monorepo has a structured architecture separating packages (TypeScript/SolidJS), services (Rust backend), vendor (vetted Rust dependencies), and examples. This enables shared tooling and integration testing across the stack.
