Motivation

Meta-frameworks are overkill for simple client-side-only react apps. Bundlers like webpackare too complicated and cumbersome, others like esbuild or rollup while much easier to use still require you to know the inner workings of bundling, module types, transpilation, loaders, etc. This template aims to solve that by simplifying the process.

This template has 4 dependencies:

• react and react-dom to develop and render your react app in the client
• tailwindcss for styling your app using convenient classnames
• bun to run your code and bundle it to the web

This template won't include:

• linters/formatters like eslint
• state managment redux or react-query
• route managment like react-router
• ui libraries like daisyui or shadcn
