> to read about what Vite is and what it does. This is actually my main complaint. I read everything on the landing page and Getting Started page and still have literally zero idea what Vite does.
Secondary call-to-action is literally "Learn more" [0] and explains in details all the problems it solves [0] https://vitejs.dev/guide/why

It’s more like Webpack, the software that processes your React code into JavaScript bundles that are optimized for the browser. ie puts together what belongs together, removes the unused code, provides a test server to develop and get instant refresh.
How would one use it together with a backend that already serves the frontend code? As a compiler only?
It’s not the most graceful setup, but it works if your backend build isn’t as flexible as you need.
