First of all, congrats for launching. It takes guts and a whole load of effort, I know that first-hand.
And to make it to HN FP and deal with the ensuing onslaught of comments and feedback is no mean feat! I hope the next few days are insightful and fun and you can maintain a positive outlook about it all.
I haven't looked in great depth yet at what you've made available so please take all of this with a pinch of salt, but I wanted to share my honest 5-minute scan-through braindump with you as if you were watching me do the review in person:
- _Another_ front-end framework (le sigh) - tell me again how you're trying to fix burnout and fatigue 8]
- Let's look at the source for the homepage: https://github.com/nuejs/www/blob/master/index.md https://github.com/nuejs/www/blob/master/index.md
- Oh, this 'Nuemark' actually looks interesting! Is that available yet? No
- Where's the word 'solver' here? It's not here, it's embedded in the CSS. OK :/ not sure if this is intending to be an example of how to do this properly...
- That CSS looks... funky... like a Python developer from 2004 decided to come up with their own terse syntax
- That's not going to play well with current tools. Plus, there MUST be a compilation step, so why choose to make the compiler do a load of work here every time? Saving a few keystrokes feels like very little benefit overall
- The homepage claims that its own HTML, CSS and JS add up to under the "14K" limit (is that kB?) but according to my math (which has been known to be wrong at times) it comes in at 19kB - this is still great, but the content of the page is potentially misleading
I am always open-minded about new tools and will do a thorough and fair review, but a part of the problem for me is the time I invest has to be worth it - like, if I switch, I'm going to use this tool A LOT
As I say, this is just a braindump of a very quick review, so add salt to taste
- tipiirai 3y agoI hear you. I'll try to convert you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ in the upcoming months when I address your points with the new tools and code examples.
