I spent a weekend using Claude Code to build a small reactive UI library on top of Effect called effect-ui. It’s an experiment in building a UI system entirely on Effect’s primitives like streams, fibers, and scopes, without a virtual DOM or reactive wrappers. Components run once, updates flow through streams. The result was surprisingly coherent and showed how capable Effect already is for UI work.
