This is indeed addressing a similar scope to Alpine, but aims to be even more minimal.
petite-vue is less than half the size of Alpine.
petite-vue has no transition system (maybe this can be an opt-in plugin).
Alpine is developing its own ecosystem and likely will diverge more from Vue in the future. petite-vue aligns with standard Vue behavior whenever possible, so it's less friction moving to standard Vue if needed. It's intended to cover the progressive enhancement use case where standard Vue is less optimized for nowadays.
