+#### Asset Bundling Options

+When you select HTMX + Tailwind, you can choose how assets are delivered:
+
+| Option | Best For | Build Step | External Dependencies |
+|--------|----------|------------|----------------------|
+| **Vite** (default) | Production apps | Yes | None |
+| **CDN** | Prototypes, MVPs | No | Yes (3 CDNs) |
+
+**Vite (Recommended for Production)**
+
+- Bundles Tailwind CSS, HTMX, and Alpine.js locally
+- No external CDN dependencies in production
+- Proper CSS purging for smaller bundles
+- Hot Module Replacement (HMR) in development
+- Uses `django-vite` for seamless Django integration
+
+Development:
+```bash
+docker-compose up  # Starts Django + Vite dev server
+```
+
+Production:
+- Assets are built during Docker image build
+- Served via WhiteNoise from `/static/dist/`
+
+**CDN (Simple, No Build Step)**
+
+- Assets loaded from external CDNs (tailwindcss, unpkg, jsdelivr)
+- Zero configuration needed
+- Good for quick prototypes
+- Not recommended for production (external dependencies)
+
