Nuxt is inspired by a popular React project named Next.js, built by Zeit. Both projects have the aim of creating applications that allow for a better development experience using the latest ideologies, tools, and techniques. Nuxt recently entered version 1.x and onward, meaning that it should be considered stable to use for production websites.
