This announcement is a big deal. It's an extremely disruptive new project from an extremely experienced team. It's also an announcement that has driven a tiny fraction of the discussion one would expect a project of this importance built by a team of this experience to drive on HN. Hopefully things pick up, but the past six hour's minimal response to this posting (and mostly similar or weaker responses to previous postings about Qwik here) is arguably a powerful measure of the landing page and the tag line for the landing page failing to do their job.

Qwik is fairly well known already among js devs. Bear in mind this is a beta product, it's being actively developed (e.g. signals like in solidjs are coming soon, which is a pretty major feature) and the API is probably going to change quite a bit in the following months. The people that want to "speed up their site" are not the target audience at this point, it's developers who know what hydration and resumability are.

  What makes you say it's well known? I'd say it's closer to barely known.

    It featured in various frontend podcasts and online meetups. I'd say, web developers who are keeping up-to-date, know.

      So the 0.01% that care to use the next great thing™

      Very few web developers are "keeping up-to-date" that quickly. I've been aware of it for a while, but the vast majority of devs are not aware of tools until they hit mass adoption.
