Vite+, Void(0) & the Future of Frontend Tooling — Open Source with Alexander Lichter

In this episode of Monte Talks, Jakub Andrzejewski sits down with Alex Lichter, Open Source Engineer and contributor to Vite and Void(0), to explore the future of frontend tooling and open source collaboration. Alex shares how he got started with Vite and open source, and what led him to move from working with frameworks to focusing on developer tooling. We break down what Vite+ really means, what’s included, what’s not, and where Vite still has room to grow. Alex also explains the idea behind the Void(0) stack and its vision for modern frontend tooling, including the importance of collaboration between frameworks and tool authors. Finally, we look ahead to the future of frontend tooling, the role of AI-assisted developer experience, and Alex’s advice for developers who want to start contributing to open source.
