# Introduction
This is a brief tutorial designed to give you a quick run through the usage of
Vide.
Vide is heavily inspired by [Solid](https://www.solidjs.com/).
## Why Vide?
Creating UI is a slow and tedious process. The purpose of Vide is to make UI
declarative and concise, making it faster to create and more importantly easier
to maintain. Vide achieves this using a reactive style of programming which
allows you to focus on the flow of data through your application without
worrying about manually updating UI instances.
Some of the main focuses behind Vide's design choices:
- Concise syntax to reduce verbosity as much as possible.
- Reducing the amount of imports needed for usage by leveraging Luau's syntax
and semantics.
- Being completely typecheckable.
- Flexibility, particularly with integrating other libraries and allowing users
to use their own patterns.
- Independence from instance lifetimes.
- A powerful reactive system that can surgically update properties as a result
of state changes.
