Introduction

React Over Crystal, Kemal, & Yarn

Current version is 0.1.0 See the Full Documentation https://codingphasedotcom.github.io/rocky-documentation/

Welcome to the ROCKY Stack

I built this as an experiment to put together the best libraries to build a modern yet simple stack.

I chose to base my stack

• React - Solid front end framework backed by Facebook

• Crystal - A powerful new language with syntax similar to ruby but is as fast as "C"

• Kemal - Super light weight http framework made by Serdar Doğruyol

• Yarn - The fastest package manager also made by Facebook
