I've heard of Svelte but am not sure exactly what it does. So this time I went to their homepage and it doesn't provide any concise summary of what it is.

If I had to guess, I'd say it packages Javascript up into an application that runs locally, but... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's just a frontend framework for building fast, interactive frontends.

If you're interested in seeing what all the fuss is about and have 5-10 minutes to spare, you could start https://svelte.dev/tutorial/basics and get a pretty good sense of it in less than 10 minutes

Thanks! The "what is Svelte" part really should be on the homepage.
