• vitest and jsdom for testing

Technical Summary:

Implementation Choices

Vanilla JavaScript: Due to the assignment's simplicity, VanillaJS was chosen for its conciseness. Frameworks like React or Vue would have introduced unnecessary complexity and increased bundle size.

Vite: This build tool was selected for its efficient asset minification and unit testing capabilities.

Potential Improvements

Error Handling: Implementing robust error handling mechanisms would enhance the application's stability.

TypeScript: Utilizing TypeScript would strengthen type safety, enabling early error detection and facilitating the development of a more versatile API capable of supporting a broader range of poll widget types.

Alternative Frameworks: Exploring frameworks like Svelte or Solid could potentially provide a balance between reactivity and reduced bundle size.
