SolidStart
What SolidStart is
SolidStart is a free, open-source meta-framework for building web applications. It supports JavaScript and TypeScript as its primary languages and uses hybrid rendering. Deployment is self-hosted, so developers run applications on infrastructure they manage rather than using a listed hosted deployment service. SolidStart is available for the web and has a free plan. Its open-source license model makes it suitable for projects that require an open-source framework. Developers can use the project website at start.solidjs.com to learn more. SolidStart is not described here as a framework for mobile or desktop platforms, nor is a hosted deployment target listed. Teams selecting it can therefore focus on whether JavaScript or TypeScript, hybrid rendering, and self-hosting match their project requirements.
