Vite

Build Tool · Open Source / MIT

Vite is the build tool under every project we ship: instant dev-server startup, hot module replacement, and optimized production bundles via Rolldown. SvelteKit rides on it, our env tooling and Sentry instrumentation plug into it, and it stays out of the way — which is the highest compliment build tooling can earn.

How We Use It

  • Development servers with instant startup and hot module replacement
  • Optimized, code-split production bundles for SvelteKit apps
  • Plugin pipeline for env validation, instrumentation, and CSS tooling

Core Web Foundations

Why this matters: Strong platform fundamentals (HTML, CSS, JS/TS) make apps faster, more accessible, and significantly easier to maintain. We ground every build in platform-native best practices: type-safe JavaScript, accessible HTML, and modern CSS. This foundation enables maintainable codebases, reliable refactors, and fast, inclusive user experiences. Preferred defaults: TypeScript strict mode; UnoCSS or Tailwind; semantic HTML with ARIA and WCAG 2.2 targets.
