Description

Looking at the capacitor intro, it says that I need to install webpack to support builds, which brings me to full stop. My project is all ES6 modules in TypeScript. I use tsc to compile and ESBuild to bundle and that's it. I propose "untying" the knot since this is the future of .js.

Research direction

Start with the capacitor intro referenced in the issue and identify where webpack is presented as required for builds. Update that guidance to cover projects using TypeScript, ES6 modules, tsc, and ESBuild without requiring webpack. Done means the introduction accurately explains the supported build path and no longer blocks this setup.
