Looking for a sensible starting path (pnpm + motion)

[evan-cobey]

Hey everyone,
I'm just getting started with Vite and could use some real-world pointers.

i've already run pnpm create vite and read the docs, but I'm curious what tutorials, videos, or repos actually helped you get comfortable with config and plugins

i've seen the Ultimate Vite Cheat Sheet 2025 and Awesome Vite.js, but I'd rather hear from you.
i also want to try Motion One in a vanilla Vite project with pnpm; is pnpm add motion all I need, or are there tree-shaking or build gotchas?

I'd start with the official Vite guide and explore the vite.dev/guide/using-plugins as you go

u don't need to learn everything at once.

For Motion
pnpm add motion
is all you need to get started.

In vanilla JS, you can keep things simple:

import { animate } from "motion";

animate(".box", { x: 100, opacity: 1 });
