03:28 - What is it?

Total platform for building Svelte apps
Built in Vite.js
- Includes all of the Vite goodness but it hides behind the scenes for the most part
Host anywhere

05:16 - Is it CSR, SSR, SSG, WTF?!

All of the above. Uses adapters to control the output:

kit: { // hydrate the element in src/app.html target: '#svelte', adapter: adapter() }

09:45 - What you get out of the box

File-based routing
API routes
Layouts and layout resets
Fancy file titles [slug] __layout
Code splitting & preloading
PostCSS
TypeScript support

17:03 - Neat small things
