Rationale
Kretes is being built with battery included approach in mind, i.e. it comes
with a (eventually large) library of useful modules which are developed in a
coherent way. This stands in direct opposition to Koa approach. Kretes tries to formalize conventions and eliminate valueless choices by providing solid defaults for building web applications that increase the programmers productivity.
Kretes fights against the accidental complexity. Let's focus on business needs of our applications instead of constantly configuring, patching and putting together various software elements.
Features In A Nutshell
Kretes bridges client-side (frontend) and server-side (backend) development
by using a single programming language - JavaScript - across the
board.
The project draws inspiration from Rails while trying to be less magical, if
any at all. In Kretes, you write your applications using
TypeScript.
As a secondary goal, Kretes tries to minimize the dependencies. It uses
external packages only if absolutely necessary (e.g. security, OS abstractions
etc).

Detailed bug reports are always great; it's event better if you are able to
include test cases.
