> Island based client hydration for maximum interactivity.

This honestly reads like satire. It sounds like something on the sarcastic VanillaJS homepage.

This gibberish being the second bullet point in a list of core features is a huge turn off. I know it’s tongue in cheek, but still

It’s actually not gibberish.

* Island refers to this https://jasonformat.com/islands-architecture/

* Island based hydration is a form of partial hydration where the boundary is the component islands.

Makes sense. Thanks!
People downvoted you, but I completely agree. It looks like this is NOT satire, but I hope you turn out to be right. Maybe someone has some sense of humor and enough time on their hands left to pull such stunt.
My bet is on someone forget to take it out of the template when the rest of the copy was added, and it will be gone in a few days with a realistic list item there.

I think it's mostly like a tongue in cheek acknowledgement of how everyone in big techs is fighting so hard for a promotion that they aggressively brand the heck out of every library, exploit, and "new tech" they scheme up, even if the thing they're mentioning is using weird language for a concept that isn't new.
