Congrats Anthony! Thank you for all that you do!

Initially no! I wanted to stick with pages router, but while I’ve been refactoring to follow things to React spec, it led me down this rabbit hole and I do want to do what’s best for future users familiar with the ecosystem

Rari is moving from client-first to server-first architecture with full app router support, aligning with React's modern patterns as we work toward React feature parity. We'd love support from Rust contributors and those interested in backing independent OSS frameworks pushing the boundaries of RSC.

I've had good experiences with fly, so I figured I'd make the leap there. Ideally wanted to keep everything in one place

Thanks Brooks! Going to take some time to align things. Appreciate the focus on the bigger picture.

Thanks for weighing in @ricky.fm! You're right that it deviates from React's guidelines. In Rari it's for build-time classification, but this has been flagged a few times and I'm open to aligning with React's conventions on this piece as well.

Exactly where I’m finding myself 😂. If it’s a source of friction to existing mental models, and it’s the only implementation to behave this way, I don’t know if it’s beneficial. I don’t want people to feel like they’re doing something wrong.

Your input shapes Rari's future in the React ecosystem. Should we prioritize groundbreaking web development innovation or focus on JavaScript framework compatibility? Would love feedback from the React community.

As we build toward 1.0.0, we're at a crossroads.

Option A: keep pushing experimental boundaries for unique developer patterns, but risk ecosystem compatibility.

Option B: adopt React's official RSC patterns for easier onboarding.

Ryan Skinner @ryanskinner.com · 17d

We've pushed a boundary with client-to-server imports through build-time transformation—normally forbidden in React Server Components. This lets client components directly import server components, creating new React patterns that weren't possible before.

Rari is early and experimental. We're exploring React Server Components with custom RSC streaming, client component registry, Rust runtime, and HMR for server components. We've pushed one boundary that breaks React's RSC rules—should we keep innovating or align with standards?

What happens when you run React Server Components on a custom Rust runtime instead of Node.js?

4x faster rendering, 10k+ req/sec, sub-50ms P99 latency.

Same JSX, same component patterns. Zero Rust knowledge needed.

The runtime does the heavy lifting, you write the React.

Stumbled across some old photos of the first computer I built myself, circa 1998. I installed it in a metal tool box into which I cut some holes. The handle was very convenient for carrying the computer to LAN parties.

A big red toolbox. At one end, there are openings for a 3.5” floppy drive, a CD drive, a removable hard disk bay, as well as a rotary dial from an old telephone (not functional, only decorative), a key switch, and a Linux sticker.

The other side of the toolbox. On one side is an opening for the power supply. In the lid there’s a big fan. At the end are the motherboard connectors (PS/2 for keyboard/mouse, etc), graphics card, network card, USB card, and sound card.

The box with the lid lifted, showing the computer components installed on the inside.

I hate this status update, but I need to give it:

We are working to deploy an update to our location detection that we hope will solve some inaccuracies. It should roll out in the next couple hours.

I can only use Bluesky now on my home WiFi since it looks like my cell provider routes through Mississippi servers at some point.
