Familiar stack, 100% control over project!","body":"**Refine** is an **open-source**, **headless** React framework for developers building enterprise web applications. It eliminates many repetitive tasks such as\n\n➡️ CRUD operations ➡️ State management ➡️ Routing ➡️ Authentication ➡️ Access Control \u0026 ➡️ i18n\n\nand saves days of development time.\n\nAs a developer-focused alternative to existing _low-code/no-code_ enterprise tools, **Refine** allows developers to **work with the stack they are already familiar** **with** and have **100% control over their projects.**\n\nFor a quick start, you can visit\n\n* [👉 https://refine.dev](https://refine.dev) - Docs, tutorials and 100+ sample projects\n* [👉](https://refine.dev) \u003chttps://github.com/refinedev/refine\u003e - **12K** ⭐️\n\n### **Solution**\n\nThanks to its unique “**Headless UI**” approach, Refine works with any custom design. It has ready-made integrations with the 4 most popular UI frameworks: **Ant Design**, **Material UI**, **Chakra UI** and **Mantine**. Refine is totally backend agnostic and can connect to **15+ backend services** out-of-the-box, incl. **custom REST \u0026 GraphQL API’s.**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=72562\u0026key=user_uploads/1013886/0fe3bd00-f162-4c50-9f98-4988ad3e2779)\n\nYou can give it a try on [refine.new](http://refine.new) to see how easily you can create tailor-made projects in seconds, by combining your preferred tools and technologies.\n\n### **The Framework**\n\nInstead of being a limited set of pre-styled components, **Refine core** is a lean collection of **helper hooks**, **components**, and **providers**. They are all decoupled from UI components and business logic, so that they **never keep you from customizing your UI or coding your own flow.**\n\n### **Community**\n\n**Refine** is backed by a robust community that showcases the following metrics:\n\n⭐️ 17K GitHub stars\\\n👩‍💻 150+ Contributors\\\n💻 5,000+ Commits\\\n💬 3,000 Discord members\n\n### **Use Cases**\n\nSo far, **thousands** of great projects have been built by **15,000+ monthly active Refine developers**. Use cases include but are not limited to\n\n* Admin Panels\n* Forms\n* Dashboards\n* Storefronts\n* Internal tools\n* B2B Solutions\n* SaaS Interfaces\n\n### **What’s Next?**\n\nIn addition to our endless contributions to the open-core framework, we are also developing cloud-based products to make Refine a comprehensive platform for developers to build enterprise-grade web applications.","slug":"IsM-refine-open-source-platform-for-rapidly-building-enterprise-web-applications","created_at":"2023-06-27T04:37:31.127Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T01:55:00.948Z","total_vote_count":100,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/IsM-refine-open-source-platform-for-rapidly-building-enterprise-web-applications","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":28907,"name":"refine","slug":"refine","url":"https://refine.dev","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/aeaa683b72502977824eb71f47dba97607b154c0.png","batch":"Summer 2023","industry":"B2B","tags":["Developer Tools","Open Source","Web Development"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/28907"}}
