Deno Frontend Development

Overview

This skill covers frontend development in Deno using Fresh 2.x (Deno's web framework), Preact (a lightweight React alternative), and Tailwind CSS. Fresh uses "island architecture" where pages render on the server and only interactive parts ship JavaScript to the browser.

When to Use This Skill

• Creating a new Fresh web application
• Building interactive UI components (islands)
• Adding server-rendered pages and routes
• Integrating Tailwind CSS for styling
• Choosing between islands (client-side) vs components (server-only)
• Working with Preact hooks and signals

Apply these practices when building web applications in Deno.
