Dowe

Dowe is a standalone compiler and runtime toolchain that compiles fullstack products from a single .dowe source file. It eliminates the need for a Node.js application runtime by generating platform-specific artifacts directly, including server binaries, SSR web pages, desktop applications, and native mobile apps. Developers write routes, views, state, and server behavior in one checked source graph, and Dowe handles the platform work.

Dowe solves the problem of maintaining separate codebases for different platforms by offering a unified source model that can be lowered into multiple target outputs. It targets developers building fullstack applications who want to avoid Node.js runtime overhead and prefer a checked compilation approach with explicit diagnostics for unsupported behavior.

The tool is designed for teams and individuals who need to produce server, web, desktop, Android (Jetpack Compose), and iOS (SwiftUI) artifacts from a single codebase. It is currently in early access, inviting users to start small and inspect the generated output.
