Vue VS Houdini
Vue is a progressive JavaScript framework focused on building user interfaces, known for its reactivity system and strong community support. Houdini is a set of APIs that allows developers to extend CSS and create custom styles and layouts directly in the browser, which is ideal for design-heavy projects but may have limited browser support and a steeper learning curve.
