🧀 racletteJS First Melt for 2026 – Monorepo Heat & Ecosystem Growth
Hello fellow racletteers!
It’s been a while - our last update was before Christmas.
And while things may have seemed quiet on the surface, behind the scenes the racletteJS kitchen has been busy.
A lot has happened organizationally, structurally, and across the ecosystem. Let’s unwrap it.
🔁 Core & Workbench Status
@raclettejs/core
No new releases this cycle.
You can always track detailed changes in the changelog.md.
@raclettejs/workbench
Also no new release.
Full history available in the Workbench changelog.
But - and this is important - that doesn’t mean nothing happened.
🏗 Monorepo Migration – Almost There
The migration into our unified monorepo is nearly complete:
This is a foundational step for:
- Better cross-package consistency
- Cleaner dependency management
- Improved contributor experience
- Faster coordinated releases
What’s next?
- New core package releases, including updated containerized dependencies (MongoDB, Valkey)
- Proper release pipelines
- Implementation of structured test frameworks:
- Unit tests for components and utils
- End-to-end tests for full applications and single widgets or compositions
🧭 The Meta Repository Is Live
We’ve created the new ecosystem coordination hub:
Meta Repository:
👉 https://gitlab.com/raclettejs/raclettejs
It includes:
- Shared contribution guidelines
- Issue templates
- Community resources
Next up:
- Automated pipelines to distribute and sync issue templates across repositories
- Stronger governance tooling for the growing ecosystem
Open source isn’t just code - it’s structure. And we’re building that structure deliberately.
🧀 raclettePlugins Updates
cheesy-CRM (WIP)
The first WIP core application is now publicly available:
It’s still highly work-in-progress - but now visible.
Expect more cheesy content soon.
With Michelle preparing her talk for the decompiled conference 2026, things are accelerating behind the scenes.
Stay tuned.
There might be the first official racletteJS product emerging from this.
OpenStack Billing Dashboard
The OpenStack billing dashboard is evolving beyond Proof-of-Concept status:
If you’re interested in OpenStack, billing transparency, or platform tooling -
jump into the issues and share your thoughts on feature proposals.
This is where ecosystem collaboration becomes real.
💬 Community Expansion
We’ve expanded our communication channels:
- 🟢 Matrix Space
https://matrix.to/#/#raclettejs:matrix.org - 💬 Discord Server
https://discord.gg/3DckxhPc
Whether you’re a contributor, partner, curious developer, or long-time supporter - come hang out. Preferably in Matrix though... I mean... We grate Cheese and together with Mr. Thiel, they grate privacy
🇪🇺 Funding Milestone – Final Hurdles Cleared
We’ve solved the last administrative hurdles regarding EU co-funding.
This unlocks:
- Greater planning security
- Dedicated development time
- Structured growth initiatives
More structured announcements will follow - but the path is now clear.
🏢 racletteJS Is Looking for an Office
Yes - really.
As the team grows and projects multiply, we’re currently looking for a physical office space for the racletteJS team.
From open-source framework to structured platform initiative - this is the next step in maturation.
🔥 What This All Means
While no new releases shipped for a while, the groundwork being laid is significant:
- Structural consolidation
- Ecosystem tooling
- Public WIP applications
- Conference preparation
- Funding stability
- Community expansion
racletteJS is moving from experimental framework to sustainable platform ecosystem, slowly but steadily. Awesomeness intensifies
Quiet times often hide the biggest shifts, but with our growing community infrastructure we will sure be bringing everything, which appears hidden at the moment, to the light of you all. For participation, criticism and cheesy contributions.
And we’re just getting started.
Until the next melt 🧀
