What is Vite for React projects?

Vite's the fast build tool replacing create-react-app—native ESM, killer HMR, prod-ready builds.

Why does useEffect run twice in React?

StrictMode in dev double-mounts to catch cleanup bugs and stale closures. Stays away in production.

Not solo, but scales teams—props typing saves sanity.

Vite's for pure React; Next.js has its own bundler. Use for learning React first.

🌐 Frontend & Web
