About the Team
We're a handful of developers who have been building software alongside each other for years. zero.ts is our answer to a shared frustration: the growing chasm between solving a problem and the ceremony required to build for the modern web.
The Turning Point
The idea for this project didn't come from a strategic plan. It was sparked late one night during a video call, born from a moment of shared exasperation. One of us was demonstrating a simple UI element triggering a waterfall of wasteful computation—a familiar sight for any web developer. The sheer absurdity of the complexity we had all come to accept as normal broke the spell.
In the silence that followed, a simple question was posed: "What if we just... didn't?"
What if we could build rich, interactive applications without fighting a civil war between the client and the server? What if we could spend our time on the user's needs instead of on the plumbing?
Our Guiding Principles
That question became the foundation for our work. Everything we build is measured against a few core beliefs:
- Software should adapt to human thought, not the other way around. We refuse to accept that developers must contort their logic to appease a framework's limitations.
- A feature's code should be as cohesive as the feature itself. We believe in keeping related logic physically close, ending the scavenger hunt across dozens of files and folders.
- The goal is a direct path from thought to running software. We are relentlessly focused on eliminating the ceremonial code that stands between an idea and its execution.
Our Journey
We are committed to sharing this journey with the community. This site serves as our public logbook, where we're chronicling our progress, our breakthroughs, and our missteps along the way. While the source code is not public, we believe in building with transparency and sharing the "why" behind our work. We don't claim to have discovered a silver bullet, but we are committed to the search. Thank you for joining us.
