No-Build Web App: Little Webby Press Reborn

The author rewrote his ebook generator, Little Webby Press, to eliminate the build process. The new version ditches Svelte, BrowserFS, and other build tools and dependencies, opting instead for Mithril and Pico CSS, cleverly using importMap to load dependencies from JsDelivr. This resulted in cleaner code and a massive performance boost; generating the ebook and website for Moby Dick went from 4.7 seconds to under 0.5 seconds. The author finds this "no-build" approach more enjoyable and plans to focus on such web app development in the future.
