Meact

Meact is a lightweight and simplified version of React, designed to provide a basic understanding of how React works under the hood. It follows a similar component-based architecture and implements a subset of React's features.

This project is inspired by Didact, a minimal implementation of React created by Rodrigo Pombo. Meact builds upon the concepts and ideas presented in Didact, with some modifications and enhancements.
