Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Abdelkabir, creator of x (@thexjs). Why I built this: While building a SaaS on Next.js, I was frustrated by how slow deployments and local dev servers felt. After trying Astro, I loved the frontend speed but missed Next.js-style backend features. When I started exploring Bun—which has a built-in bundler, runtime, package manager, and native SQLite/Postgres drivers—I realized we didn't need another heavy layer of tools. We needed a framework built around Bun's native speed. What makes x different: Single Process Architecture: Routing, SSR, API routes, server actions, and auth all run in one process via Bun.serve(). Build-Time Secret Isolation: Server functions rewrite imports at build time so backend secrets (DATABASE_URL, STRIPE_SECRET_KEY) can't leak into browser bundles, backed by an automated post-build leakage scanner. Native AI Agent Support: Includes @thexjs/mcp and AGENTS.md out of the box so tools like Claude Code and Cursor write correct x syntax instead of hallucinating Next.js code. You can create a new project right now with: Bash bun create thexjs-app@latest my-app It's an open-source project created out of curiosity and a drive to learn how frameworks work under the hood. I'd love to hear your feedback, questions, or ideas! 🚀
