Nue is a very cool project but if you want people to take the project seriously you should probably tone down your confrontational marketing :)

Also, I checked the demo and there's like 100kB of WASM code you're not taking into consideration in that React button comparison?

Anyway, congrats on the project. I'm really curious to see how the whole vision will turn out.

100% agree, I felt very put off by the tone, I think HTMX pull it off by not taking itself too seriously and also having good insights.

I wish the homepage talked more about how nue approach the problems rather than how better than other framework it is.

I think you're right on the marketing. I'll tone down.

The comparison uses the non-wasm version at mpa.nuejs.org

If you want an alternative view, I like the confrontational tone. You know what you excel at and attack your competitors with it.

I really dislike how all the other JS UI libraries are basically the same and espouse the same ideas.

Svelte was way better when Rich Harris was straight up attacking react devs at conferences and shaming them for poor performance.

Being "nice" just ensures entrenched players stay entrenched.

I wrote "tone down" not "completely remove" ;)

Rich and HTMX have a much different tone while shaming React.

If you're actually doing something better and your results actually stack up under scrutiny I don't see the problem.

I think most people get uncomfortable because it's often untrue in marketing. So if it's true (to the best of your knowledge and after outside probing) then by all means.
