Can someone ELI5 what Nue is in terms of its competitor?

AI slop really doesn't help get you point across.

This looks great, but my current app is entirely written in and designed to run on Node. Pity, because I'm currently preplanning the frontend and was trying to decide if I was gonna use a framework and which one. I would prefer a minimal one like this, but the Bun thing is probably a dealbreaker.

Good luck though! It looks great!

I'm in a similar boat on a side project: I picked pico-vue and I've hit many issues. But I'm not going to switch to bun for this, so it'll have to wait for a greenfield project

The UNIX way is not "all your tools are part of the same software package".

UNIX has a bunch of standard tools actually, that's what made it UNIX. How is this any different?

Seems like a bad way to brand this for a number of reasons. Bad comparison from a technical POV for those who know, bad comparison from a marketing POV for those who don't.

"The GNU Utils of Javascript Web development" wasn't as catchy.
