🎉 Excited to announce that I'm joining @voidzerodev as DevRel! As I was following the project from early on, I couldn't say no to the chance when @evanyou reached out. I can't wait to share all the incredible things lined up for @rolldown_rs, OXC, @vite_js, and @vitest_dev 👀

tsup is not actively maintained anymore 👀 With more than 9 million NPM downloads per month and over 10000 GitHub stars, tsup is undeniably a popular choice for bundling your application. Unfortunately, it is not under active maintenance anymore. That doesn't mean tsup is broken
