The Thunderous Stack Experimental: The Thunderous stack packages are experimental and may not be suitable for production use. They are subject to bugs and breaking changes. The Thunderous Stack is a collection of packages that work together to provide a complete full-stack development experience. While the core thunderous library focuses on web components, these additional packages enable server-side rendering, static site generation, and client-side navigation. Stack Components The full Thunderous stack consists of three complementary packages:

• thunderous — The core library for building web components with a simplified functional API.
• thunderous-csr — Client-side navigation that brings SPA-like UX to traditional multi-page apps. Intercepts navigation and selectively updates content using the modern Navigation API.
• thunderous-server — A static site generator and development server that enhances plain HTML with server-side rendering, TypeScript compilation, and NPM dependency management via import maps.

Quick Start The easiest way to get started with the full stack is using the project scaffolding tool: npm init thunderous This creates a complete project with TypeScript, a development server, and all three stack packages configured and ready to use. Philosophy The Thunderous stack embraces a "HTML-first" philosophy. Unlike frameworks that require you to learn new syntax or file formats, everything in the Thunderous stack is built around standard web platform features:

• Your pages are HTML files, not JavaScript components
• Routing is file-based, not configured in code
• Layouts use standard slot elements, not framework-specific templates
• Dependencies load via native import maps, not bundled JavaScript
• Navigation uses the native Navigation API, not a custom router

This approach means your knowledge transfers directly to and from the broader web platform. You're not learning "Thunderous-specific" patterns—you're learning modern web development patterns that work everywhere.
