## Wait, what is SvelteKit?
Think of it as [Next](https://nextjs.org/) for Svelte. It's a framework for building apps with Svelte, complete with server-side rendering, routing, code-splitting for JS and CSS, adapters for different serverless platforms and so on.
If you're familiar with [Sapper](https://sapper.svelte.dev), SvelteKit is Sapper's successor.
