SnapFire started as SnapFire Web, a Tera templating library with live reload. It is now a stack built around SnapFire FSR, a runtime where routes, data loading, actions, service clients, sessions, identity, caching, streaming and client navigation are primitives rather than features owned by a UI framework. Beside it sit a compiler that turns TypeScript into browser-native ES modules with no Node and a typechecker that fetches and pins its own tsc. SnapFire Web is still here and is now one renderer among several.
Nothing in the chain needs Node, at build time or on the request path. There is no node_modules.
Each one installs and is used from its own README.
