Sorry, should’ve probably added a text description.

Hono is a JavaScript framework designed to run on (but not just) Edge runtimes. It’s nice due to it being very “lightweight”. It was mainly for server side functionality but this release adds more front end functionality, which I find quite welcome.

Personally I have found this works well if you’re targeting those platforms. For example, I use it on Cloudflare Pages with Page Functions and it works a dream.

I haven’t found it to be a write once target anywhere platform (for example, serving static files differs between platforms), but it makes it significantly less effort to migrate to a new platform if necessary, which is always nice.
