What stands out
A quick read of the recorded project description.
Uses Bun as the runtime, allowing TypeScript and JSX to run directly without additional transpilation configuration
The Bun command line also provides a test runner, script runner, and Node.js-compatible package manager
The README gives Bun installation methods on Linux (x64, arm64) and macOS (x64, Apple Silicon), including install script, npm, Homebrew, and Docker
The README states that Bun is still in development and recommends it for speeding up development workflows or for simpler production code in resource-constrained environments
Template Details
In the README, Relibun is described as a "feature-complete starter template for Bun" and labeled "Next.js Bun Starter," meaning a Bun starter template aimed at Next.js projects. The body of the README is almost entirely about Bun itself: Bun is an all-in-one toolkit for JavaScript and TypeScript, providing a runtime, test runner, script runner, and Node.js-compatible package manager through a single executable, `bun`, and it supports running TypeScript and JSX directly.
As for the template itself, the README provides no directory structure, page composition, styling approach, dependency list, environment variables, or build and deployment steps, so it is impossible to confirm which specific pages, components, or integrations the template includes. Links to Next.js, React, Elysia, Hono, Express, and others that appear in the README are ecosystem entry points in the Bun documentation and cannot be taken as evidence that the template has integrated these frameworks.
The README also states that Bun is still in development and recommends it for speeding up development workflows, or for running simpler production code in resource-constrained environments such as serverless functions. The template's availability and production readiness are not addressed in the README.

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

We're working on more complete Node.js compatibility and integration with existing frameworks. Join the [Discord](https://bun.sh/discord) and watch the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/oven-sh/bun) to keep tabs on future releases. Bun is an all-in-one toolkit for JavaScript and TypeScript apps. It ships as a single executable called `bun`. At its core is the _Bun runtime_, a fast JavaScript runtime designed as a drop-in replacement for Node.js. It's written in Zig and powered by JavaScriptCore under the hood, dramatically reducing startup times and memory usage. ```bash bun run index.tsx # TS and JSX supported out of the box ``` The `bun` command-line tool also implements a test runner, script runner, and Node.js-compatible package manager. Instead of 1,000 node_modules for development, you only need `bun`. Bun's built-in tools are significantly faster than existing options and usable in existing Node.js projects with little to no changes. ```bash bun test # run tests bun run start # run the `start` script in `package.json` bun install <pkg> # install a package bunx cowsay 'Hello, world!' # execute a package ``` ## Install Bun supports Linux (x64 & arm64) and macOS (x64 & Apple Silicon). > **Linux users** — Kernel version 5.6 or higher is strongly recommended, but the minimum is 5.1. > > **Windows users** — Bun does not currently provide a native Windows build. We're working on this; progress can be tracked at [this issue](https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/43). In the meantime, use one of the installation methods below for Windows Subsystem for Linux. ```sh # with install script (recommended) curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash # with npm npm install -g bun # with Homebrew brew tap oven-sh/bun brew install bun # with Docker docker pull oven/bun docker run --rm --init --ulimit memlock=-1:-1 oven/bun ``` ### Upgrade To upgrade to the latest version of Bun, run: ```sh bun upgrade ``` Bun automatically releases a canary build on every commit to `main`. To upgrade to the latest canary build, run: ```sh bun upgrade --canary ``` [View canary build](https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/releases/tag/canary) ## Quick links - Intro - [What is Bun?](https://bun.sh/docs/index) - [Installation](https://bun.sh/docs/installation) - [Quick Start](https://bun.sh/docs/quickstart) - CLI - [`bun run`](https://bun.sh/docs/cli/run) - [`bun install`](https://bun.sh/docs/cli/install) - [`bun test`](https://bun.sh/docs/cli/test) - [`bun create`](https://bun.sh/docs/cli/create) - [`bunx`](https://bun.sh/docs/cli/bunx) - Runtime - [Runtime](https://bun.sh/docs/runtime/index) - [Module resolution](https://bun.sh/docs/runtime/modules) - [Hot & live reloading](https://bun.sh/docs/runtime/hot) - [Plugins](https://bun.sh/docs/bundler/plugins) - Ecosystem - [Node.js](https://bun.sh/docs/ecosystem/nodejs) - [TypeScript](https://bun.sh/docs/ecosystem/typescript) - [React](https://bun.sh/docs/ecosystem/react) - [Elysia](https://bun.sh/docs/ecosystem/elysia) - [Hono](https://bun.sh/docs/ecosystem/hono) - [Express](https://bun.sh/docs/ecosystem/express) - [awesome-bun](https://github.com/apvarun/awesome-bun) - API - [HTTP](https://bun.sh/docs/api/http) - [WebSockets](https://bun.sh/docs/api/websockets) - [TCP Sockets](https://bun.sh/docs/api/tcp) - [File I/O](https://bun.sh/docs/api/file-io) - [SQLite](https://bun.sh/docs/api/sqlite) - [FileSystemRouter](https://bun.sh/docs/api/file-system-router) - [Globals](https://bun.sh/docs/api/globals) - [Spawn](https://bun.sh/docs/api/spawn) - [Transpiler](https://bun.sh/docs/api/transpiler) - [Console](https://bun.sh/docs/api/console) - [FFI](https://bun.sh/docs/api/ffi) - [HTMLRewriter](https://bun.sh/docs/api/html-rewriter) - [Testing](https://bun.sh/docs/api/test) - [Utils](https://bun.sh/docs/api/utils) - [Node-API](https://bun.sh/docs/api/node-api) ## Contributing Refer to the [Project > Development](https://bun.sh/docs/project/development) guide to start contributing to Bun. ## License Refer to the [Project > License](https://bun.sh/docs/project/licensing) page for information about Bun's licensing.
