Blits: The Lightning 3 App Development Framework
npm install @lightningjs/blits!npm !License !Tests !Coverage !npm
With Blits, the App Development Framework for Lightning 3, it becomes a breeze to build great Lightning 3 applications.
Blits is built on top of the Lightning 3 Rendererer and aims to provide a great developer experience, making it fun and easy to build your apps!
Built from the ground up by the LightningJS team, we're offering a Complete App framework, full of features to speed up development, while keeping it lightweight with a focus on performance.
The Blits framework uses a readable XML-style template syntax and comes with built-in reactivity.
You may be wondering where the name Blits comes from?
Firstly, it's short, memorable and just has a nice ring to it.
"Blits" is a Dutch word (a significant portion of the Lightning Open Source team is based in the Netherlands). It means _flashy_ and it's often used for things that are _great_ or _cool_.
Finally it's a nerdy reference to the computer term "Bit Blits" commonly used in graphics processing, for rapidly moving a block of data into memory - quite similar to what Lightning is doing 🙂
