Nue 1.0 (RC) — Can it outshine Next.js?
Nue is a static site generator (SSG) built from the ground up to offer faster tooling, cleaner codebases, and better results. Today, we’re releasing the first version of Nue that earns the release candidate (RC) status.
This major update introduces a range of improvements while simplifying the system. The documentation has been greatly enhanced, and we've built a completely new Markdown parser from the ground up, specifically designed to bring Nue’s content-first vision to life.
Nue is an ambitious engineering project designed to simplify web development through separation of concerns and progressive enhancement. This approach fundamentally redefines how websites are developed:
This means you’re no longer bogged down with debugging complex algorithms and data structures. Instead, you can put all that focus on content, layout, and design systems—making a natural transition from JavaScript engineering to Design engineering.
One of Nue’s standout features is its hot-reloading mechanism, and with this version, the diff/patch system is stronger than ever. By instantly detecting changes in content, data, layouts, styles, components, and islands, Nue applies updates directly to your browser. This creates a smooth, lightning-fast feedback loop that makes the development process more exciting and fluid.
