I created and named the Grit library that used to power GitHub. Scott Chacon (fellow GitHub cofounder, now CEO of GitButler) specifically asked my permission to re-use Grit as the …

With Claude Code's new lifecycle hooks, GitButler auto-sorts simultaneous AI coding into separate branches. Write three features, get three clean branches.

Oh, and we have a video version of the walkthrough in case that's more your style! https://youtu.be/5IZv3khsx0o

Hey, Tom Preston-Werner, co-creator of RedwoodJS here. We've been working hard on React Server Components support in RedwoodJS and really happy to finally have a bare-bones working…

Thanks, Will! It's awesome having you in the Redwood startup community, and blown away by the work you're doing at Everfund!

Thanks, Orta! I'm especially keen to get money in the hands of under-represented developers that would otherwise not have a chance to spend time on getting a startup off the ground…

Tom Preston-Werner here, I'm behind the Redwood Startup Fund as an extension of my work on RedwoodJS. I also do a lot of angel investing, and this fund finally combines my great lo…

Explanation and link added!

Right now there is no business model, on purpose. This is why I'm personally supporting it. I think what David meant is that we are sustainable because I am committed to sustaining…

Did you look at the main website? https://redwoodjs.com It is indeed a web app framework, based on React, GraphQL, Prisma, Storybook, Jest, and with many integrations for auth, log…

It is unusual, perhaps, but as Redwood has evolved, it's been natural for us to really offer support for startups using our tools. Redwood is a more complex, more integrated, and m…

These were state of the art tools when we started work on Redwood more than two years ago. We're investigating other more modern alternatives, but swapping them out is a finicky an…

RedwoodJS has been about long term maintainability from the very beginning. This is part of why we chose GraphQL as a core component. It's more complex at first, but in the long ru…

> As far as I know Redwood has no server-side rendering solution. SSR is priority number one for v2. In the meantime, a number of users use Next.js as a client that talks GraphQL t…

Thanks! Our mission is to help more startups explore more territory, more quickly. We're hoping to achieve this by integrating all the bits you need up front so you have less work …

You are correct, if you're not careful with your data fetching you can get into a waterfall situation. This is something we're keen to address in coming versions. Because we can ge…

The golden path is to use GraphQL, but you are free to do data fetching to other data sources in the normal way you would in a React app.

Glad you appreciate it! My number one goal for launch week and the new homepage and this event reminder site is to drive the "tutorials taken" number. For me, that is success.

Yes, the new website we launched today is built with Redwood (except docs are done with Docusaurus). We're still doing some optimizations, but you are indeed looking at a Redwood a…

Core team member here. Several reasons: 1. Redwood tightly integrates more of what you'll need as your app evolves: Storybook, Jest, Auth, Deploy, Logging, and a lot more. 2. A fir…
