Looking at the project:
- Why is the demo impressive https://mpa.nuejs.org/app/ I believe someone can do the same web-app in React with the same performance.
- I'd like to quickly see some code samples on the home page. I had to dig the documentation to find some code samples (https://nuejs.org/docs/view.html#clean-html-templating), is it inspired from Svelte ?
- How is new faster and lighter compared to other tech? Specifically, compared to raw HTML/js.
To convince me that Nue is a framework worse using, please show that Nue:
1. Is simpler than HTML+JS (or at least simpler than react): like https://alpinejs.dev/
2. Is easy to understand: maybe the markup and logic are close to HTML or something else I already know
3. Has a better DX with good build time and HMR: you nailed this one
4. The tech is better: low overhead? highly based on WASM? virtual DOM? Server islands?
5. Show me metrics: https://esbuild.github.io/ nailed this one

Weren't the main points on the main page that it was small ("lighter than a React button"), and could handle large amounts of records ("far past where JavaScript (and React) would crash with a stack overflow error")?
Those points are only true if you're comparing to a React app that uses bloated frameworks and inefficient list manipulation (as other commenters pointed out, `list.push(...items)` causes problems)
