Perseus is a high-level web development framework for Rust, with full support for SSG and SSR. It's based on Sycamore (a VDOM-less reactivity system for Rust) and adds higher-level functionality, including an Actix Web integration and even a CLI to make development easier!

Why?

Since switching from JavaScript to Rust, I've found that there's a distinct lack of a framework in Rust that supports SSR and SSG. Very few even support one. That's where Perseus comes in, with support for SSG, SSR, revalidation, and even incremental generation. In a nutshell, Perseus aims to support all the rendering strategies of NextJS, but in WASM.

Documentation

You can find Perseus' API documentation here and the book, which explains every feature in detail, here.

I've also written a multi-part tutorial on setting up a basic app with Perseus here, which explains everything from installation to serving!

Project Status

Right now, Perseus is still in its early stages, but I hope that it will help people to build lightning-fast apps in Rust using rendering strategies that, up until now, have only been available to JavaScript developers.

Final Words

When I first started out with React many years ago, I had the thought of building my own framework, which I quickly dismissed as foolish, I had everything I needed. But in Rust, we don't yet have everything we need to build awesome web apps, and so Perseus was born to try to solve that problem. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
