Made to compose

Connect products without coupling their cores.

The Runic SDK repository contains SDK libraries, tools, templates and examples. Its package set releases together through NuGet and npm. Command Line and Translations, including Translations Editor, will release independently. Official integrations can connect a product to another product, framework, or tool; the product cores do not depend back on those integrations.

Application Views defines explicit Window and View contracts and emits ordinary TypeScript clients. Frontend frameworks render their components; .NET owns logical Views and ViewModel scopes.
