A Simple Alpine.js Template with Vite and TypeScript

This will be a quick one - but as I think more about TypeScript and how I'd like to learn (and play, and build silly demos), I naturally thought it may make sense to look at how I'd use Alpine.js with that stack. Alpine's been my go to library for web apps that reach the level of complexity where I'd like some help with DOM manipulation and such. I don't always use it, because (imho) the default stack should be as vanilla as possible (obviously I'm going a bit off ranch with these explorations into TypeScript and Vite) but Alpine is lightweight and simple and just a great little library in general. What follows isn't necessarily a "template" as it's got a bit of template code with it, but I thought it would be helpful to share. As always, let me know what you think!
