  • Fast Transpilation: Leverages ESBuild for JavaScript and CSS transpilation, ensuring your builds are rapid and highly efficient.
  • Dynamic Source Maps: Offers inline source maps during development for a smooth experience, while in production mode, they are emitted separately for better error tracking.
  • Webpack Enhancements: Includes advanced webpack techniques like prefetched and asynchronously loaded chunks to optimize loading times and performance.
  • Customizable TailwindCSS: Provides a flexible TailwindCSS setup that allows for customization of colors, fonts, and breakpoints to match your specific design requirements effortlessly.

  • Inlined Resources: Automatically inlines small JS and CSS entry points into HTML to enhance the loading performance without impacting the overall application architecture.
  • Pre-deployment Cleanup: Ensures the build directory is cleared before each deployment, preventing old assets from being pushed to production and maintaining a clean environment.
