I built a full-stack web framework where everything lives in one file

Hey Over the past weeks, I’ve been working on something a bit unusual. I built a framework called Luxaura that lets you create full-stack web apps using a single file format: .lux . 👉 UI, state, backend logic, and styling — all in one place. Why I built this While working with tools like React and other modern frameworks, I kept feeling the same friction: One feature = multiple files UI here, state there, API somewhere else Constant context switching It works, but it can feel… fragmented.
