The article doesn't include the information that it uses Nuemark, "a standalone library that works under Bun, Node, and Deno", written by the author himself. It "comes with a set of built-in components aimed at addressing the most common content management use cases" and is part of Nue, which the author markets as "A perfect framework".

There is one mention of Nue, in the original comparison, and another at the end under "What is nue?" - Maybe it's "expected" that the reader knows the author is using Nue and shouldn't need to make it clear, as the blog is hosted on nuejs.org, after all. Not the best practice to omit that, tho.

But what really annoys me is people making "minimalist" sites using FUCKING JAVASCRIPT FRAMEWORKS. Use a fucking markdown -> html converter
