## What it is
Neutrino is a JavaScript build tool that combines webpack with shareable presets to create and build web and Node.js applications with zero initial configuration. It provides base presets for frameworks like React, Preact, and Vue that can be extended or customized per project.

## Use cases
- scaffold a react project without configuring webpack
- build a node.js application with zero config
- share webpack build configuration across multiple projects
- customize webpack config through presets and middleware
- set up a vue or preact app quickly
- avoid maintaining boilerplate build configs

## When to choose
- you want webpack-based builds without hand-writing configuration
- you need consistent shared build presets across several projects
- you want a middle ground between full webpack control and zero-config CLIs

## When to avoid
- you prefer modern alternatives like Vite or esbuild with faster builds
- your project needs the latest webpack 5+ ecosystem features
- you need a tool under very active development

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: build-tool, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: webpack, presets, zero-configuration, babel, react, vue, preact, nodejs, javascript
