# Svelte privacy rating

Component framework for JavaScript and TypeScript that compiles components into JavaScript at build time instead of using a virtual DOM.

**Our pick.** Compiles components to small, fast JavaScript with no virtual DOM and no telemetry, and works well with TypeScript. The Forward Email webmail and apps use Svelte and TypeScript on Tauri (github.com/forwardemail/mail.forwardemail.net).
