Knobkit is a TypeScript framework for rapidly building AI web apps with a widget-based declarative API, allowing the same code to run entirely in-browser or on a stateless Node server by changing one line. Its architecture is novel in decoupling state (client-side) from handlers (optional server-side), eliminating server-side state and enabling seamless scaling of AI models via WebGPU or Node.

Target audience: backend devs, frontend devs, data engineers
