Switching to Preact was a task out of curiosity. The switch itself was very simple with only a couple of package switches.

Preact-router was subbed in for react-router and it actually feels more like the upcoming v4 in that it makes more use of JSX instead of a traditional JS API.

Comparison

The client-side only app,

  • using React, comes in at 258kb (73.12KB gzipped);
  • using Preact, comes in at 76kb (21.96KB gzipped).

Preact reduced the code by 70%. nice.
