Mark your calendars for October 3rd when ViteConf returns to the virtual stage. ViteConf is one of the most anticipated frontend developer events of the year and like previous years, ViteConf will be free, online, and is designed to be immersive, and interactive.
Celebrating Vite’s Ecosystem
As most of you are aware, Vite has achieved some remarkable milestones and since its release in April 2020, Vite’s popularity has skyrocketed. At the time of this writing Vite has:
- 13M npm weekly downloads and 5M dependents repositories
- 975 contributions (get involved and help them get to 1K before October!)
- 450 releases, with 5 smooth major version upgrades
Most open-source frameworks have chosen Vite (including Nuxt, SvelteKit, SolidStart, Remix, Redwood, QwikCity, MarkoRun, and Astro to name a few) and are actively involved in improving it together. Tools like Vitest and Storybook are also using Vite to make strides in daily DX.
We’ve been overwhelmed by the enthusiasm from the community and the vibrant ecosystem of web technologies that has emerged alongside a dynamic community of developers who build them.
Building together, lightning fast
This year, we are celebrating the tremendous progress we’ve made by building together and Vite’s relentless focus on performance.
We’re always amazed by the ingenuity of projects in the Vite ecosystem, and how the different communities put collaboration over competition. And thanks to the scale we achieved together, Rolldown will have a huge impact on the Web ensuring Vite is lightning fast for everybody.
All Hail The Pyraminx
In line with our theme of building together, lightning fast, I want to highlight the Pyraminx game you see on the homepage, which was created by Alvaro Saburido and the TresJS community, embodying the collaborative spirit of the ecosystem. Not only can you solve the Pyraminx using your keyboard’s WASD keys, but you can even edit the source code live entirely inside your browser (powered by WebContainer API)… which means that you’re running a Vite devserver entirely inside your browser on ViteConf.org 🤯.
Be sure to check out the Pyraminx on our main site!
What to expect
- Get inspired by our speakers: This year, you can expect to reconnect with some familiar faces and meet new ones as we unveil our speaker lineup in the coming weeks. Before the event you can view talks from ViteConf 2023 and ViteConf 2022 on YouTube.
- Chat live with the Vite community: Engage in real-time discussions with the speakers and connect with other developers. Join the #viteconf channel at Vite Land to get ready!
- Code along with your browser: Participate in hands-on coding sessions directly in your browser, thanks to live dev environments powered by StackBlitz WebContainers.
This conference is free to join, and all content will be presented via an immersive player connected to Vite’s Discord server, so we can watch the talks and interact with presenters and the community. Everything will be available online for free after the conference as well.
To accommodate everyone regardless of timezone, ViteConf runs for 24 hours with a live 12-hour block that is immediately replayed.
ViteConf 2024 is brought to you by StackBlitz and once again, we are grateful to be joined by several Community Partners who help spread the word about ViteConf and who share our goal of creating a great attendee experience.
