What do people build with it?

USE CASE 1

Decide between Vue and Svelte based on realistic bundle-size tradeoffs for your app's expected component count.

USE CASE 2

Understand why 'Svelte is smaller' claims only hold true for small apps or embedded widgets.

USE CASE 3

Estimate server-side rendering bundle size differences between Vue and Svelte for a given component count.

USE CASE 4

Use the methodology as a template to benchmark bundle size for your own framework comparison.

Requires building the same TodoMVC component in both frameworks with Vite to reproduce the measurements.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1

Explain the tradeoff this analysis found between Vue and Svelte bundle sizes as the number of components grows.

Prompt 2

At roughly how many components does Vue's total bundle size become smaller than Svelte's, according to this study?

Prompt 3

Why does Svelte's smaller runtime not always mean a smaller final bundle, based on this repo's findings?

Prompt 4

Summarize this project's methodology for measuring compiled component size using Vite.
