Blitz is currently in a pre-alpha state. It already has a very capable renderer, but there are also still many bugs and missing features. We are actively working on bringing it into a usable state but we would not yet recommend building apps with it.
Check out the roadmap issue for more details.
Note: This repo contains a new version of Blitz (v0.2+) which uses Stylo. The source code for the old version (v0.1) is still available on the legacy branch but is not under active development.
