What it is
This is a community-maintained list of projects, starter templates, and learning resources built around Vite, a JavaScript build tool and dev server. It groups links by purpose, such as scaffolding tools, Vue 3 and vanilla templates, and official docs, so you can find a starting point without searching widely. It is a directory of other projects rather than software you install and run itself.
- Pick a scaffolding tool such as create-vite to generate a new project
- Find a Tailwind CSS or TypeScript starter template and compare its included tooling
- Locate official Vite documentation, release notes, and the migration guide from v4
- Browse Vue 3 admin templates as a base for a back-office app
Great for
- Developers who want to start a new Vite project and need a template to begin from
- Vue 3 developers looking for admin dashboards, starters, or UI-library combinations
- Teams comparing starter templates before choosing one to adopt
- Students looking for examples of how Vite is used in real projects
Not ideal for
- People who want a single tool to install and use directly, since this is only a list of links
- Anyone who needs vetted security or maintenance guarantees, because listed projects are maintained separately and quality varies
