[Feat] Migrate CRA to Vite for Improved Performance

**Issue Overview:**
This issue focuses on migrating our project from Create React App (CRA) to Vite, aiming for enhanced build performance and a smoother developer experience.

**Benefits:**

1. Faster build times with Vite's optimized dependency graph.
2. Real-time updates via Instantaneous Hot Module Replacement (HMR).
3. Streamlined configuration and efficient bundling.

**Tasks:**

1. Evaluate compatibility and plan migration strategy.
2. Set up Vite environment and configurations.
3. Migrate code incrementally while ensuring compatibility.
4. Update dependencies for Vite integration.
5. Test build performance and runtime responsiveness.
6. Ensure HMR and smooth local development workflow.
7. Update documentation to reflect changes.

**Desired Outcome:**
This migration to Vite should result in quicker builds and a more efficient development process. Assigning this issue to myself to lead the migration effort. Looking forward to the benefits Vite brings to the project.

Start by inspecting the current Create React App setup, dependencies, and build configuration, then compare the required Vite configuration. Verify the existing build and local development workflow before migrating incrementally. Done means the app builds and runs with Vite, HMR works, performance and runtime responsiveness are tested, and the documentation reflects the migration.
