Hi folks! Today's RedwoodJS 1.0 release represents almost three years of hard work from a team of more than 300 open source contributors. Our mission is to help more startups explore more territory more quickly. We do this by providing a framework that gives you everything you need to create a modern JavaScript/TypeScript-based application: React, GraphQL, Prisma, Storybook, Jest, authentication, logging, pre-render, deploy; all beautifully integrated right out of the box. In the last six months alone, Redwood-based startups have raised over $19M USD in funding. We are building a welcoming community of Redwood developers and startup founders to help builders of all sorts get started with Redwood and succeed in building amazing apps of all kinds. If you're looking into building a new app or startup, we'd love to help you on that journey. The best way to start is with our comprehensive tutorial (you can read it, or watch a video walkthrough!). I hope you enjoy the RedwoodJS 1.0 release!

@mojombo Congrats on the launch. Have been a long-time admirer of your work (as have thousands of others). That demo video is really well done (and I've seen quite a few). Will check it out. Best wishes.

Myself and the whole team have absolutely loved using RedwoodJS so far. Adopting it has been a developers dream and a hiring managers fantasy!

Big congrats on the 1.0 launch! Redwood has been a game changer for me. I'm building CourseLift, a course hosting platform that helps with marketing and sales, and I was initially going to use Next.js. However, I decided to give Redwood a shot as I was starting out and I'm so glad I did. The framework has saved me what I'm sure now amounts to countless hours of manual file creation, boilerplate, and organization. Redwood's conventions and strong opinions mean I don't need to worry about silly stuff like where a file should go or how it should be named. Since Redwood coordinates every piece of the stack, I can start with a data model in Prisma and with a few commands I can have end-to-end CRUD operations in seconds. I really can't overstate how awesome this is for productivity. I also run a small agency, Elevate Digital, and we have standardized on Redwood for new projects. My developers now get upset if they need to work on older, non-Redwood projects. Thank you to all who have made this an amazing framework and a joy to work with ❤️

@ryan_chenkie I'm so excited to see how CourseLift grows and evolves. Such a great idea! In case anyone wants to learn more about how Ryan is building his app, I just did a video interview with him for the Redwood Startup Showcase!

"On top of the technology, we warmly welcome you to join our community, because going from side project to startup is hard, and nobody should have to do it alone." It brings me so much joy to have worked on RedwoodJS and to be a part of this message: startups are about people and building and ideas becoming more. It’s not just tech or code. It’s about making -- together. I'm excited to see -- and use -- what people make with RedwoodJS.

GraphQL Yoga

If you haven't tried Redwood, you should definitely try it out and also keep an eye on it. I am super excited about what the future will bring to Redwood. I had a lot of fun collaborating with the RedwoodJS team on building the GraphQL layer powered by GraphQLYoga!

UserVitals

So great to see Redwood reach 1.0! I had been reading about redwood and other similar frameworks for some time before I pulled the trigger on using it for my current SaaS product. Initially I was drawn to redwood because of their vision to bring together key industry standard technologies such as GraphQL, Auth Providers, and React but tying them together in a cohesive framework that both abstracted and simplified the complexity behind these individual tools. I was also impressed with the framework’s decision to also empower the developer to make choices with the framework such as pluggable auth providers. I knew prior to building UserVitals , the API will be an important part of the application as I knew we would be connecting to third party tools and different components that we internally made such as our Chrome extension or CLI import tool. The flexibility of the GraphQL layer powered by Envelop allowed us to put in error tracking with Sentry, logging, custom authentication layers and more. I also enjoyed the simple concepts that Redwood promoted such as services, cells and functions that greatly improved the developer experience when building production ready applications. Ultimately, Redwood allowed us to focus on building the product while giving us a solid foundation to build on top of and being flexible enough to plug things in when we needed it.
