Hi, thanks for authoring a web framework in Rust, this sounds very exciting!
"Clean MVC approach inspired by Elm and Redux"
Elm and Redux are not MVC. Redux is a Flux implementation:

To help alleviate wider confusion, please update the readme with these details.

Aren't they MVC though? The Model is the Storage, the View is, well, the renderer, and the Controller is the Dispatcher.

I think the terminology associated with MVC is vaguely defined in such a way that you could construe most ui frameworks as using that pattern. As I understand it, the core tenant of Flux-like architectures is that they force data to flow in one direction, with immutable views being produced by your code and diffed against existing nodes instead of mutating some stateful view datastructure.
A bit of personal bias here, but if something says it uses an MVC (or any of its cousins), it doesn't help my understanding of their architecture. Whereas something using Flux tells me immediately to expect something like React/Redux or Elm. I think describing Yew as a Flux-like architecture is more descriptive than saying it uses MVC.
