About [:Volundir]

[:Volundir] is a curated ecosystem of Kosh’s ideas — engineered to deliver a lightweight, agnostic, modular, and extensible Vanilla JavaScript framework.

At its core, [:Volundir][:JS] provides a structured yet flexible foundation for building modern applications without external dependencies. It embraces architectural clarity, developer autonomy, and full control over the stack.

Complementing the core, [:Volundir][:UI] offers an in-house UI Kit designed for clarity, consistency, and rapid interface composition — without sacrificing flexibility.

The ecosystem also includes [:Volundir][:PWA], a cross-platform Progressive Web App server and builder, enabling seamless deployment across environments. For quality assurance, [:Volundir][:vSpec] delivers a complete and integrated testing system.

Together, these components — along with a suite of Kosh-styled development tools — create a Rails-inspired JavaScript development experience focused on building and deploying Cross Progressive Web Applications with elegance, control, and performance.

Why "[:Volundir]"?

Volundir is inspired by Volundr (also known as Wayland the Smith) — a legendary blacksmith in Norse mythology renowned for crafting divine weapons and artifacts of immense power. His story represents mastery, resilience, and craftsmanship taken to its highest form.

In the manga Shuumatsu no Valkyrie, “Volundr” refers to a sacred ritual in which a valkyrie merges her soul with a human, transforming into a divine weapon uniquely aligned with that warrior’s strength.

This framework adopts the name Volundir to embody that same spirit of precision, transformation, and craftsmanship — providing developers with a powerful foundation to forge their own applications with clarity and intent.

And all [:koshtech] products and services follows our ruby maming philosophy, by this way, this amazing PWA platform are named [:Volundir].
