I built BertUI because I was tired of the slow, complex setup of modern React frameworks.I wanted a tool that felt instant for both development and production, without sacrificing the benefits of an SSG (like file-based routing and optimized builds).I chose to build BertUI on Bun because it allowed me to leverage native speed for everything, from the package manager to the runtime.The Key Achievement:Our production build time is consistently measuring around $\sim38\text{ms}$ for a minimal project (verified on Vercel), which we believe is significantly faster than comparable builds using Vite/Rollup. The speed is tangible: our quick start video (linked in the docs) shows the full installation in under a minute.What BertUI does:Blazing fast, Bun-native compilation.Zero-config, simple file-based routing.React and TSX support out-of-the-box.Try it out in seconds: bunx create-bertui my-appI'd love to hear your thoughts on the performance and any suggestions for pushing the speed even further. Are these compile times something you'd expect from a Bun-based tool?
