Versions:
FreakJS is a minimal frontend framework published by FreakJS, built natively on the Bun JavaScript runtime. The framework is designed for developing web frontends and falls into the category of frontend development frameworks and web application tooling. Its stated purpose is to provide a lightweight foundation for building and serving web interfaces, combining a deliberately small footprint with modern deployment capabilities. A defining characteristic of FreakJS is that it ships with zero runtime npm dependencies, which distinguishes it from frameworks that rely on large dependency trees and supports a simpler, more predictable installation and execution model. The framework includes file-based routing, meaning that the structure of the filesystem is used to define application routes, a convention that reduces the amount of explicit routing configuration developers must write. On the rendering and execution side, FreakJS provides server-side rendering alongside Edge Functions, making it edge-ready and suitable for deployment scenarios where logic runs close to end users at distributed edge locations rather than exclusively on centralized servers. The framework is also described as free to deploy, positioning it as an accessible option for projects where deployment cost is a consideration. Use cases for FreakJS center on building frontend applications and websites that benefit from server-side rendering, organized file-based routing, and edge-deployed server logic, particularly within environments that already use or target the Bun runtime. Because it is Bun-native, FreakJS is intended to integrate directly with that runtime rather than treating it as an optional target. FreakJS is currently available in version 0.1.0, and its version history contains one release in total, indicating that version 0.1.0 is both the initial and the current release of the software. As a Bun-native, zero-dependency framework offering file-based routing, SSR, and Edge Functions, FreakJS represents a minimal option within the frontend framework landscape for developers seeking a lightweight, edge-ready solution built around the Bun ecosystem and its toolchain.
