Looks great! Seems to me that there’s just not enough pain around this. Ironically, React being “good enough” at performance (in most cases) probably means that there’s not appetite for squeezing out the last few millimeters (again for the vast majority of use cases — clearly there is some need otherwise svelte wouldn’t exist).

I often ear this "vast majority" claim but is it true? Every slow website I encounter is react or angular based. Maybe I just don't notice the fast ones, but react and fast enough are not really my experience

The ones based on next.js are pretty fast. but yeah vanilla react apps tend to be on slower end
