My process

Built with

• Svelte - Reactive JS framework
• Vite - Build tool
• Typescript - A statically typed language that compiles to JS

What I learned

• I learned how to work with Svelte and reactive JS workflow
• I learned to use CSS custom properties for creating a design system and light/dark theme.
• I learned a little bit of Vite, but didn't need to dive that deeply into it.
• I learned how use TS and how to integrate it into Svelte for typesafe props and state.

Issues I encountered

When I tried to set the src of an <img> element in a .svelte component markup, Vite correctly served the image when running in dev, but did not bundle them when building for prod. I discoverd that I had to import the assets in the <script> of the component.
