A standards-first web framework

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.

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

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 looked at the code, and I'm finding it very hard to take them seriously.

This almost feels like someone taking on a challenge to create a toy framework themselves.
