8This site is built using [vite](https://git.icyphox.sh/vite). This is
9vite, the 2nd. Its predecessor,
10[py-vite](https://git.icyphox.sh/py-vite) was a Python program. It was
11also the first ever "tool" I wrote for myself, back in early 2018.
12Ironically, it was far from _vite_, with builds taking upwards of 10
13seconds at times.
14
15vite's primary goals are:
16
17- speed
18- extensibility -- the ability to run commands before and after a build
19- minimalism

21It is configured via a `config.yaml` file present in the site's root.
22Consult the readme for more info.
