i've had a website made with svelte 5 for about a year now, and i've moved back to pure html/css/js. why did we overcomplicate everything with modern web.
my main issue was that i wanted to incorporate my old website into my new one that you could access via a url (e.g. https://mauve.beer/old). unfortunately, my old website uses svelte 5! it turns out that it's next to impossible to run what vite bundles without a webserver because of some dynamic import shenanigans. vite does produce html, css and js files out of your svelte code. there is no reason why it shouldn't work without a webserver. and yet. this is so stupid. it's just an html file. i really want to make this work, but i've somehow always miserably failed. why must everything be so complicated nowadays.
this is a shot in the dark, but if you could somehow figure out a solution to this, i beg you, please send me a dm on irc or an email. i really want it to just work. but it cannot.
