alt Hacker NewsYes, React is huge, but I also see it used for everything and everyone when it's really not the right tech-stack in many situations.
Just need a simple interaction free site? Use Astro.
Need some interaction? Use Svelte. Larger project? SvelteKit.
Need a more established solution? Use Vue.
Working in a huge team and need a highly opinionated framework with strict conventions? Use Angular.
More than 99% of websites would be sufficient with Astro though. And when just some interactivity is needed it is always possible to add Svelte / Vue / Solid / Alpine / HTMX on top of Astro.

React itself is not huge
Weird that the current state of things for a simple, noninteractive site is some kind of framework and not just “write the HTML with a little JS where needed,” which works perfectly well and requires no additional baggage.
