+Notes;
+- Use builtin `import` syntax and get npm packages from a CDN like [esm.sh](https://esm.sh/#tsx)
+- Use [importmap](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/script/type/importmap) to map ESM imports to Node.js resolution patterns  
+- `npm install` is only required for types. Unfortunately this requires full package installation until the TypeScript team [comes to a decision on remote declaration file](https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/28985)
+- For performance sensitive applications, you'll still probably want to use a bundler for production - but who know, this might be good enough for most use cases
+
 ## Watch Mode
 
 `http-server` under `--watch` mode can watch the served directory for changes and emit an event to the client notifying of a change. By default the server will intercept html files and inject a JavaScript script which subscribes to change events and triggers a page reload.
