RedwoodJS

Hi folks! Today's RedwoodJS 1.0 release represents almost three years of hard work from a team of more than 300 open source contributors. Our mission is to help more startups explore more territory more quickly. We do this by providing a framework that gives you everything you need to create a modern JavaScript/TypeScript-based application: React, GraphQL, Prisma, Storybook, Jest, authentication, logging, pre-render, deploy; all beautifully integrated right out of the box. In the last six months alone, Redwood-based startups have raised over $19M USD in funding. We are building a welcoming community of Redwood developers and startup founders to help builders of all sorts get started with Redwood and succeed in building amazing apps of all kinds. If you're looking into building a new app or startup, we'd love to help you on that journey. The best way to start is with our comprehensive tutorial (you can read it, or watch a video walkthrough!). I hope you enjoy the RedwoodJS 1.0 release!

We are so excited and proud of what Redwood has become, both as a project and as a community! Whether you are setting off to start your side project or looking to become an open-source contributor, I'd like to personally invite you to join us. With Redwood, no one has to go it alone. Join the Redwood Community: https://redwoodjs.com/community If you have any questions along the way, don't hesitate to reach out to me. I'll be watching comments here. And my DMs are open everywhere. Excited to see what you build with Redwood 🚀

Big congrats on the 1.0 launch! Redwood has been a game changer for me. I'm building CourseLift, a course hosting platform that helps with marketing and sales, and I was initially going to use Next.js. However, I decided to give Redwood a shot as I was starting out and I'm so glad I did. The framework has saved me what I'm sure now amounts to countless hours of manual file creation, boilerplate, and organization. Redwood's conventions and strong opinions mean I don't need to worry about silly stuff like where a file should go or how it should be named. Since Redwood coordinates every piece of the stack, I can start with a data model in Prisma and with a few commands I can have end-to-end CRUD operations in seconds. I really can't overstate how awesome this is for productivity. I also run a small agency, Elevate Digital, and we have standardized on Redwood for new projects. My developers now get upset if they need to work on older, non-Redwood projects. Thank you to all who have made this an amazing framework and a joy to work with ❤️

Myself and the whole team have absolutely loved using RedwoodJS so far. Adopting it has been a developers dream and a hiring managers fantasy!

"On top of the technology, we warmly welcome you to join our community, because going from side project to startup is hard, and nobody should have to do it alone." It brings me so much joy to have worked on RedwoodJS and to be a part of this message: startups are about people and building and ideas becoming more. It’s not just tech or code. It’s about making -- together. I'm excited to see -- and use -- what people make with RedwoodJS.

Congratulations on the launch, guys! Can't wait to hang around with you on Wednesday! 🥳

Nice work guys!
