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 believe the "obnoxious blur" is a common view transition API animation [1]. Astro uses similar as a default [2].

Astro uses a crossfade as the default view transition, as is described in the docs you linked, it doesn't use any blur.

I haven't seen `filter: blur` used for view transitions before, wouldn't personally call it obnoxious, but to each their own.

I think as long as prefers-reduced-motion is respected, its' fair game.

I stand corrected--didn't notice at first. I do prefer the crossfade, admittedly.
