Are you tired of the JavaScript frameworks that come with a hefty bundle size and complex setup? If so, let’s dive into Svelte, a revolutionary approach to building web applications that challenges the conventional wisdom of front-end development.

Why Svelte?

Svelte takes a different route by shifting the heavy lifting from the browser to the compilation step. Instead of shipping a bulky runtime library to the client, Svelte compiles components into highly efficient vanilla JavaScript during build time. This means your users download smaller files, and your applications run faster.
