I'm trying to understand the differences between this and React. It seems as though the emphasis is on the 4kb size, but I wonder if there are any other differentiating features?

The main difference here is that a 300 SLOCs code-base is easier for others to understand how it works, the react codebase has a lot of tricks and fallbacks and etcetera. This project is for studying purposes. The best way to understand something deeply is try to reproduces its behaviour.
