# Overview

Foldo is a simple, framework-agnostic approach for building project files.

[Documentation](https://foldo.dev) | [Plugins](https://github.com/foldo/plugins) | [Examples](https://github.com/foldo/examples)

### What it does

- Acts as a project's central hub for all build processes

- Watches files and their dependencies for changes

- Granularly rebuilds files for maximum efficiency

- Provides a simple API for custom builds

### What it doesn't do (but plugins can!)

- Foldo does not compile JS (use `esbuild`, `rollup`, or `webpack`)

- Foldo does not start a local dev server

- Foldo does not minify output files

# Motivation

Foldo gives weekend warriors the power to create delightful developer tools without having to reinvent the wheel (file system logic, error handling, custom CLI, etc). Foldo also encourages a modular project structure without compromising a smooth DevX. Frameworks like `Next.js` and `Vite` are extremely easy to use, but quite difficult to customize since they have such a large scope. Foldo is intended to limit the scope of such frameworks and encourage modular alternatives.
