A meta-framework builds on top of a UI library (React, Vue, Svelte) to provide:
| Framework | UI Library | Rendering | Philosophy |
| Next.js | React | SSR, SSG, ISR, CSR | Full-stack React | | Remix | React | SSR, progressive enhancement | Web standards, forms | | Nuxt | Vue | SSR, SSG, ISR | Full-stack Vue | | SvelteKit | Svelte | SSR, SSG, CSR | Compiler-first | | Astro | Any (React, Vue, Svelte, etc.) | SSG, SSR, Islands | Content-first, minimal JS |
Explains meta-frameworks like Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Remix, Astro, and their architectural patterns. Use when comparing frameworks, choosing a framework for a project, or understanding what features meta-frameworks provide beyond base UI libraries. Source: kinfe123/fm-skills.
