## What it is
Superfine is an absolutely minimal (1 kB) virtual DOM view layer for building web interfaces in JavaScript. It provides h(), text(), and patch() functions for declarative rendering without any framework features like state machines, effects, or subscriptions.

## Use cases
- render web UIs with a tiny virtual DOM library
- build interfaces without a full framework
- pair a minimal view layer with my own state management
- create small web apps with no build step
- efficiently patch only changed DOM nodes
- embed lightweight UI rendering in an existing page

## When to choose
- you want a sub-1 kB view layer with zero framework opinions
- you prefer bringing your own state management
- you need no-build-step, ES module based rendering
- you like Hyperapp's vdom but not its framework features

## When to avoid
- you need built-in state management, effects, or subscriptions
- you want SSR, routing, or a full component ecosystem
- you need a large community and active development
- you prefer JSX templates or a batteries-included framework

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: frontend-framework, ui-components, state-management
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: virtual-dom, hyperapp, minimalist, view-layer, javascript, nodejs, web-server
