Baleiro

WARNING: LLM generated description ahead

Welcome to Baleiro, an experimental toolkit named after the Galician word for "empty". It's not quite a framework, not quite a library, but rather a curious exploration into how simple we can make web development.

The Experiment

Baleiro was born from a simple question: "How can we strip away all the complex setup and just focus on writing code?" The result is a minimal toolkit that offers:

1. Single HTML File Output: Everything your app needs, bundled into one file. Deploy anywhere!
2. Surprisingly Good Debugging: Because 'simple' shouldn't mean 'painful to troubleshoot'.
3. Live Reloading: See your changes instantly, no refresh needed.

And the best part? You get all of this with zero configuration. It's an experiment in getting out of your way.

When to Use Baleiro

• You're tired of spending more time on setup than actual coding
• You want to quickly prototype an idea without framework overhead
• You're curious about how little tooling you can get away with
• You enjoy thought experiments that produce working code

When Not to Use Baleiro

• For large-scale applications (this is an experiment, remember?)
• When you need a full-featured framework
• If you actually enjoy complex build processes (no judgment here)

The Philosophy

Baleiro isn't trying to be the next big thing in web development. It's an exploration, a "what if?" made real. What if we could have the conveniences of modern development (bundling, debugging, live reloading) without the complexity?

It turns out, we can. It might not be suitable for every project, but it's a reminder that sometimes, less really can be more.

Ready to see how empty your development process can be while still being surprisingly functional? Give Baleiro a try. At worst, you'll learn something about what you really need in your toolkit. At best, you might find yourself with a new, refreshingly simple way to bring your web ideas to life.

Remember: Baleiro is an experiment. Use it to learn, to explore, and maybe to challenge your assumptions about what's really necessary in web development.
