## Notes

Nue is a development environment for websites and single-page apps, run from a command line tool named nue. The tool runs on Bun only: the getting-started guide says Nue uses Bun exclusively. During development it serves pages straight from the source folder, and `nue build` writes the production site to a `.dist` folder. The project describes Nue as a static site generator.

## Worth knowing

The [getting-started guide](https://nuejs.org/docs/getting-started) states that the current major version is not backwards compatible with the previous one. The server part, Nueserver, currently works for local development only, according to its page.
