If you were trying to convince me to build a web app in Java, you wouldn’t need to explain what the JVM is, but you’d need to make a strong argument for why Java is better than the alternatives available in 2025.

So the question is whether the target audience here is “people who want to build full-stack web apps” or “people who are already using the BHVR stack”.



The benefits are very clear to me.

If you build MERN apps, this is a template that replaces Express with Hono, Node with bun, and Webpack with Vite.

All of which are significantly faster than their counterparts. Hono can be deployed anywhere and has a much smaller bundle size than Express.


These two paragraphs would already be a much more helpful project description than “typesafe fullstack monorepo”.
