Manic is a high-performance React framework built exclusively for Bun.

It ships with a custom build pipeline, first-class plugin architecture, and production-ready DX for local development, deployment, and AI-native workflows.

Monorepo Layout

This repository is now an umbrella workspace that tracks core packages and plugins as git submodules from the manic-js organization.

Clone with submodules:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Rahuletto/manic

If you already cloned:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Pull latest submodule changes:

git submodule update --remote --recursive
