A live coding stream walkthrough of SolidStart, the meta-framework for SolidJS, covering its evolution over nearly three years of development. The session demonstrates building a client-side app from scratch, adding routing, server functions (use server), API routes, code splitting with lazy loading, and file-system-based routing. Key themes include the philosophy of keeping SolidStart minimal and maintainable, the parallels to create-react-app, avoiding data-fetching waterfalls via route-level data functions, and how server functions eliminate the need for manual REST endpoint wiring.
