AIFA

AI-First Fractal Architecture for Next.js 15+

AIFA is a development methodology and CLI tool designed for building Next.js applications with a fractal-based architecture optimized for AI-assisted development with Perplexity AI.

🎯 What is AIFA?

AIFA (AI-First Fractal Architecture) is an approach to web development where:

• Fractal Structure: Each feature is self-contained with its own routes, components, state, and translations
• AI-Native: Designed to work seamlessly with AI assistants like Perplexity for iterative development
• Next.js 15+: Built on the latest App Router, Server Components, and Server Actions
• Minimal to Mature: Start with minimal fractals and evolve them based on real needs
