Lots of big claims, including bashing React and this seems to be a framework to build static sites, like blog posts with little to no reactivity?

Also, kinda silly to "appeal to authority" by invoking Dieter Rams. I understand that the author was inspired by Rams work, but this is akin to saying "My new framework is Iron Maiden" because I happen to really like maiden.

(replying to self)

I just checked out the demo site, and now I'm question their design choices as well.

https://simple-blog.nuejs.org/

Nue claims to be minimalist and an outright rejection of everything that is bloated. And yet, this simple page has an obnoxious blur. I get that it kinda looks nice on first load, but click around - the blur happens on each navigation.

This screams form over function if anything.

I like the blur, actually. Well, not that much - it's too much blur.

But I definitely don't like that on top of the blur effect there are scaling animations for each element. I shouldn't be saying this as I'm guilty myself of doing silly things for page transitions in my portfolio, but am working on that.
