Primework

We are open-sourcing Primework.

The web doesn't need another HTML replacement.

It needs better tools for the problems HTML and CSS weren't designed to solve.

Primework is a precision rendering framework that complements the web platform. Use browser primitives where they already work well, and use Primework where deterministic rendering, advanced typography, precision layout, and custom rendering become part of the product.

It can be used:

- Standalone
- Embedded in existing applications
- As an overlay where only part of the UI needs precision rendering

No rewrites. Adopt it only where it adds value.

Primework is also an experiment in rethinking rendering on the web. I hope some of the ideas explored here can help inspire future browser engine improvements—so these kinds of workarounds become unnecessary over time.

This is just the beginning, and we would love your feedback.

Check out the project, share your thoughts, and contribute if you're interested.

    Please wait until sometime today or tomorrow, the namecheap.com provider is under maintenance. We are all discussing the issue and waiting for more info. This is first time happening on such large scale.

    You can check a GitHub repo until then:
