  • Hey JΓΈrn πŸ‘‹
    nice to see you in the issue queue, this one is a tough one to crack, I did consider Vite before and did some initial work there a while ago but seems quite complex and you might only manage to get it to work with a ddev config which adds to the onboarding process

    here's a branched off version: feature/vite but the job is not done

    Here's the README for it.
    Give it a go maybe and let me know what you see

    Thanks Sohail,

    I'll give it a spin and see.
    Though, it may be a while to get useful feedback as this is a bit outside my skillset.
