## What it is
A Vite build plugin that inlines all JavaScript and CSS resources into a single dist/index.html file, allowing an entire web app to be distributed as one HTML file. It is aimed at offline web applications that can be opened directly from the filesystem without a server.

## Use cases
- bundle a web app into a single html file
- build an offline web app that runs from file://
- inline javascript and css into index.html
- distribute a demo or utility as one portable html file
- package documentation or expert tools without a server or electron wrapper

## When to choose
- you need a fully self-contained single HTML file for offline use
- your app has a single entry point and no server-side requirements
- you want to avoid Electron/Cordova wrappers for simple utilities or demos

## When to avoid
- hosting a normal multi-page website on a web server where performance matters
- apps requiring multiple HTML entry points
- apps relying on cookies, History API routing, sourcemaps, or worklets
