WebSharper
What WebSharper is
WebSharper is an open-source, full-stack framework for building web applications with C# or F#. It uses hybrid rendering and supports self-hosted deployment, giving developers a choice of these two languages and a way to host deployments themselves. The framework is available on the web and follows a freemium model. Its Community plan is described as free forever and intended for solo developers; no plan price is listed. A free plan is available. WebSharper does not include an ORM. The listed framework details center on its type, languages, rendering approach, deployment target and license, rather than a broader feature list.
