I am very happy that today we merged the pull request switching the Mastodon frontend build chain from the very old (and outdated) Webpack 4 to @vite ⚡️
It is not visible to end-users but it will greatly improve the developer experience with working on the Mastodon frontend and opens the door for many good things.
I started the initial work 2 years ago, then @chaosexanimaecho ✨ took over and got it over the finish line 🚀
