Products & Services
A Laravel-inspired full-stack web framework for Rust, built on Tokio, hyper, and SeaORM, with routes, Eloquent-style models, authentication, queues, mail, migrations, Inertia, realtime features, search, payments, and single-binary deployment.
A minimal Suprnova application starter kit with registration, email verification, password reset, profile management, and an Inertia 3 plus Svelte 5 frontend.
A Suprnova product-site starter kit with authentication, documentation, articles, public profiles, taxonomy, role-based access, and moderation, using Vue 3.5.
A Suprnova directory kit with searchable listings, moderation, Stripe and Paddle publishing, editorial tools, SEO, media, and backups.
Market Position
The core positioning is a solo-developer-led, open-source alternative that brings Laravel's conventions and batteries-included productivity layer to Rust's async, type-safe, single-binary runtime. Suprnova therefore sits against general Rust web frameworks such as Axum, Actix Web, and Rocket, while differentiating through its Laravel-like API, integrated auth/queues/mail/storage/search/payments, Inertia frontend bridge, and agent/MCP tooling.
