Hi HN, I'm the creator of Velox.

I built this because I wanted the fine-grained reactivity of Solid/Svelte but with a mental model closer to what I was used to in React hooks.

The core idea is ditching the Virtual DOM entirely. The compiler (built as a Vite plugin) transforms the JSX directly into DOM instructions. - Runtime is < 3kb. - Updates are O(1) (targeted node updates). - 800+ downloads on npm in the first 12h (unexpectedly!).

Currently working on stabilizing the ecosystem (router, CLI). The compiler logic is in `packages/vite-plugin-velox` if you want to roast my code.

Happy to answer any questions about the implementation!
