UIX is our open-source full-stack framework for developing reactive web apps with restorable and shared state. Apps runs on a deno backend and supports both single- and multi page applications with frontend or server-side rendering and hydration. Getting started at https://docs.unyt.org/manual/uix/getting-started

The DATEX JavaScript Library acts as the backbone of UIX, providing useful functionality such as reactivity and cross-device data exchange. In contrast to frameworks like React, UIX provides direct wiring to the DOM for reactivity and does not need a virtual DOM.

Pretty sure I am not your target audience or just out of the loop but I don't understand the majority of technical words in your docs. It sounds like the JavaScript ecosystem has developed their own technical language.

Is that just me? Do I need to work on my code hydration skills?

Yeah, you might be correct with that. Our target audience are mostly (half) experienced web devs. Nevertheless we are working on a more broad and easier way to get into UIX. Feedback is highly appreciated.
It reads like it uses a lot of buzzwords for simple concepts, which makes it hard to understand.

From my understanding it's some kind of web framework that mixes frontend and backend. But I have no concept what code hydration is, shared states, reactive web elements, and so on. I never been into React and stuff, but Fullstack is what I do.

Shared states sounds like it has some kind of database, hydration surely is some kind of layout rendering, reactive components could be smart DOM event handling... But that's just assumptions.
