Four Languages, One API
Python, Node.js, PHP, and Ruby share the same project structure, CLI commands, template syntax, and .env variables. Learn one, know all four.

This is not a framework - v3

Sub-3KB Reactive Frontend
Signals, tagged template literals, and Web Components. The entire frontend framework fits under 3KB gzipped. No virtual DOM. No build step. No complexity.
Zero-Dependency Node.js
Tina4 Node.js ships with zero runtime dependencies. No native addons, no node-gyp, no platform binaries. SQLite runs through Node 22's built-in module.
Routing in Every Language
Define a route. Return a response. The framework handles the rest. ASGI in Python, HTTP in Node.js, PHP, and Ruby. Same patterns across all four.
Built-in WebSocket Support
Real-time communication across all backends. Connect a client, send a message, receive a response. Chat apps, live dashboards, notifications -- all handled.
Twig Templating Everywhere
One template engine across Python, Node.js, PHP, and Ruby. Variables, loops, inheritance, macros. Write your layout once and render it in any language.
One-Line CRUD Generation
Define an ORM model. The framework generates CRUD interfaces and migrations for SQLite, PostgreSQL, or MySQL. No boilerplate. No ceremony.
Swagger at /swagger
Add a description decorator to your route. Visit /swagger. Your API documentation appears -- typed, grouped, and ready for your team to use.
JWT Authentication Built In
Token-based auth, session management, and middleware. GET routes are public. POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE require a bearer token. Security by default.
