-## How it works (for the nerds)
-
-It is primarily a runtime middleware for [Nitro](https://nitro.build). Every time a page is requested, the McFly middleware intercepts and assembles the view for the requestor. McFly does this with the assets it knows about which are mostly: pages, components, public assets. Additionally, Nitro is also capable of generating static assets on build time.
-
-These patterns are commonly referred to as Server-Side Rendering and Static Site Generation (SSR & SSG).
-
-The idea is to have a plugin system which allows for the core functionality to only "lean" on web platform features. Anything not yet a standard is implemented as a plugin which will be easily "swapped" away when the platform catches up.

-- custom element constructor files (only `.js` files for now)

-**Nitro** is the same production-grade web server powering [Nuxt](https://nuxt.com/)
+In 2026, we pivoted to a new target architecture to become more like a "glue" that allows putting together existing options that achieve our goals. We avoid building custom mechanisms when we can. The resulting architecture theoretically allows using different server frameworks, templating libraries, custom element libraries, etc.
