It took a while to render when I clicked the Differences from React button on an iphone 17.
Same. I think it’s just a link, and its content took a while to load. Looks like it’s the docs site vs the marketing page.

#12Interested in experimenting with Octane, wish that docs emphasized more the SSR aspect of it, because I'm looking for a Ruby/Phoenix/Php alternative in TypeScript land, and one with React-like apis would be cool.
It has all the same SSR APIs as React. The Octane website is rendered with Octane and the source is in the GitHub repository if you’re interested to see how it works

#13> Measured, not vibes
Sort of ironic considering that there are a LOT of vibe tells in the copy throughout this page. It's a neat looking project, it's a shame that every other sentence has Claude's fingerprints all over it.

Weren't there RedwoodJs, BlitzJs and few others that did that already?
Didn't like the apis nor both being built on top of react crap.

Which is ironic because the author works at OpenAI!
Re: Octane – React’s programming model, compiled
#17The model is a bit different from React (no deps, hooks can be under ifs) — do coding agents recognize it or they get confused when they see that code?
Their llms.txt spells it all out: https://octanejs.dev/llms.txt
But it doesn't have the repeating yourself/over-emphasising that you sometimes see in LLM instructions when someone is trying to fight the model's default assumptions
Re: Octane – React’s programming model, compiled
#18Does it have any overlaps with React Compiler — like the auto-memoization that they have?
Also, is there any read on the downsides / shortcomings / caveats of Octane vs. vanilla React?

Yeah. I thought it sounded like OpenAI more than Claude, though maybe they’ve converged. It’s been a while since I used Claude.
