Norns

A meta-framework on top of Svelte and SvelteKit. Write components in Pug and Civet with the .n file extension — no template wrappers, no lang attributes, just clean syntax with optional types.

What's in the box

✦
Civet everywhere. Writecount .= $state 0; reactivity just works. Civet's TypeScript-aware compiler emits ESM-correct output, so runes work without preprocessor magic.
✦
Pug as the default markup. Concise, indented, no closing tags. Use.n files for zero boilerplate.
✦
All of SvelteKit. File-based routing,+page.c loaders, layouts, adapters — nothing relearned.
✦
Norns runtime. Feature-folder modularity, DI container, route/page wrappers with valibot validation, and a migrations CLI.
✦
Style how you want. Norns ships no default styling. This app uses Tailwind v4; pick whatever you like.
