let's try using create react app and time it.
this is not a system bottleneck. im running all the tests here on a hetzner dedicated server.
well, i dont like using create-react-app either. let's try something like vite.
why is it so fast? oh right. vite just made the file structure.
let's try installing everything and checking the size of node_modules.
that was way faster than create-react-app. but how about the node_modules directory?
well, if you compair it with create-react-app, you might think its really good. but let's try another approach as well
this is all you need to compile react. how many lines is that? 30? half of it are comments.
if you're complaining about the fact that the jsx is compiled client-side, you might want to look at this amazing video by tsoding. he uses babel on node.
its crazy how there's almost no tutorials teaching you how cre or vite+react works. its just "hey run this command and that command and then poof you have react!!1111!!".
im no webdeveloper (thankfully), but even i can see these root problems in your community.
using programs that install fucking 300MB of random shit that you probably wont even use just so you can have a basic react project.
in conclusion; i have a lot of respect for you webdevs, you're the people that keep us connected. please fix your community to not lose that respect
