## What it is
Nue is a standards-first web development framework and toolkit (Nuekit) for building fast websites, blogs, SPAs, and full-stack apps with minimal configuration. It emphasizes HTML-first UI assembly, Markdown-based content (Nuemark), and a tiny ~1MB ecosystem running on Bun.

## Use cases
- build a fast static website or blog from markdown
- create a single-page application without heavy tooling
- build a full-stack site with marketing pages, docs, and auth
- generate RSS feeds and sitemaps for a content site
- develop websites with hot reloading and instant dev server startup
- deploy a site to Cloudflare with minimal setup

## When to choose
- you want a minimal, standards-based alternative to heavy frameworks like Next.js or Astro
- you prefer HTML-first, content-first development with Markdown
- you value tiny toolchain size and extremely fast dev server startup
- you want simple static site generation plus optional SPA/full-stack capabilities

## When to avoid
- you need a mature ecosystem with extensive plugins and community support
- your project depends on Node.js rather than Bun
- you need backwards compatibility with Nue 1.x projects
- you require battle-tested production features like multi-site development, which is still on the roadmap
